You may want to re-evaluate your definition of 'god complex'. They're trying to stop a million 'Flappy*' apps from flooding the market. Maybe the ecosystem should stop trying to profit from someone else's work.

> They're trying to stop a million 'Flappy' apps from flooding the market.* So what? If you don't like them, don't play. Most of them will never get to 50 downloads anyway. This is natural selection. > Maybe the ecosystem should stop trying to profit from someone else's work. Are you sure Flappy Bird was the first of its kind?!?!?

  Apple and Google shouldn't want a bunch of crap that won't get fifty downloads on their stores.

    I wonder how Google's search engine deals with all the crap sites that get less than fifty page views a year...

      Not a good analogy. Google isn't tacitly endorsing those websites. It is endorsing things in its store, at least to the level of "we think it's worth taking the vig for this".

      Probably prioritises them very low, so they do not rock up in a lot of searches. Maybe puts them on the old server in the corner of the room. There is a website that lets you search minus the million most popular websites, and it is very different.

  I never said I don't like them, do not put words in other peoples mouths, it's not nice. I am trying to explain the behavior of a process you don't seem to be privy to. Don't get so worked up over something that ultimately doesn't matter.

    I'm sorry. I should've been clearer: If one doesn't like them then one doesn't have to play. "You" was not directed to your person. ;)

Maybe the ecosystem should stop trying to profit from someone else's work. All of us profit from other people's work, and we all deal in derivatives, including Flappy Bird zero.
