MODERATORS
I saw an arcade version at a flea market in Ohio a few weeks ago.
I was confused as fuck, but figured "well the creator probably doesn't give enough of a shit to sue anyone over it"
I guess I'm kinda right.
I read an article about him back when the game was popular. He was making $14,000 per month off the game. He said he had no plans to quit his job. I guess the sales stopped and he stopped caring. But it's kind of weird not to care about something earning you $14,000 per month.
The sales stopped because the developer took the app from the store and made it really really hard to get thereby. He did it because he didn't want people to get addicted to phone games and contribute to that. So for him it was morals over money, literally! You can read about it on wikipedia
