Perhaps not SimTower, but Tiny Tower shares a lot in common with flash game Corporation Inc[1] by well known flash developer jmtb02, which came along before it. Nimblebit was called out by drumcowski for doing so[2]. Tiny Tower isn't really all that original itself (it took the Sim Tower/Corporation Inc. framework and added social gaming/Skinner's Box type reward to keep people playing). What does this mean? People steal/borrow/improve upon game ideas all the time. Is this bad? That depends on your point of view. For the record, jmtb02 disagreed with some of drumcowski's comments in his response to drumcowski's response to Nimblebit's message[3].
