Do you think either Apple or Google bring down the "hammer" for fake reviews? Hint: They don't. They remove the fake reviews, but if there were really a ban hammer it would be a fantastic way of getting your competitor's apps removed, now wouldn't it? So no, that isn't the reason. And FWIW, seeing sporadic spikes in attention does not prove that he bought reviews, and that post that hit the front-page here claiming so was just libelous, speculative garbage: For virtually every spike you could find a Vine meme or YouTube play-alonger who happened to pick it up. Organic growth for fringe game can come in fits, and those who automatically ascribe to malice have personality defects. Nor does the "he was going to be sued" nonsense have any rational foundation -- this game is no less derivative than virtually all apps on the market, or the websites that we use and celebrate (OMG The Intercept is just a lame ripoff of Engadget but about surveillance). The jealousy that crowds out rational discussion is boring.
