I've started to get really tired of seeing games on Google Play toplists that are using copyrighted material in their games. On the toplist you'll find shitty games on top just because they use copyrighted materials. You'll find sponge bob, turtles, pokémon, spiderman and many more there and they all suck and would not have any downloads if they didn't use others names and art.
Why are these games not removed? I understand that its hard to catch all these games but it should be impossible for such games to reach the toplists. The developers of these games are thieves and should not be rewarded for it.
I'm starting to feel that the mobile development is a waste of time. If you actually make a really good game that has the potential of getting big many others will just copy it and a clone will problably end up being bigger than your original game
So if the app stores won't take action and protect the developers of original ideas the mobile market will die. No serious developer will waste time when the risk of getting clone raped is so god damn high They don't need to be so drastic but you should not be able to make clones of games trying to trick consumers to think the clone is the original game nor be allowed of using copyrighted names and materials.
