There's a thick line of acceptable to unacceptable and developers know when they are stepping over it or not.
IMO, Angry Birds is fine. Different device, game play taken to the next level, different theme. While I have never played 'Crush the Castle', I imagine the boulders the trebucet threw had different results.
As for unacceptable, how about NimbleBit's Tiny Tower vs. Zynga's Dream Heights? Dream Heights isn't in the spirit of the first game, it's the same game with 'better' (I actually prefer Tiny Tower's pixel art) graphics, almost screen for screen[1].

- Androsynth 14y agoThats not true at all. The article made a pretty good case that it is not a thick line. As for Zynga, everyone hates them, therefore using them in an argument instantly poisons the argument. Its a variant of Godwins law.
