Candy Crush(ed): Zuckerberg pledges to halt Facebook game invitations

Speaking at a question and answer session in India, Facebook founder says he will find a solution to the problem of annoying game notifications

But there is hope. Mark Zuckerberg has announced at a question-and-answer session that his team of developers are working on a solution.
