You Gave All The Money To Candy Crush

It looks like you're having problems with this economy. Perhaps this IPO could help you?

Five times we must relive the terror. Five times we must relive the helplessness and the dread before we are allowed our peace... but lo, even our death will die, for we are allotted a mere 30 minutes of rest before we are once more thrust into battle against the--
