I agree. A lack of evidence on his part is unfortunate and only calls for speculation. Only Apple knows "for sure" by now. Thanks for the...
I think, somehow, that it's possible that the process is left cumbersome precisely to deter spammers. Although it will certainly not stop fake...
Thing is, if BL's memories of the review count are correct and mainly concerned the iOS version, then it's mighty fishy, clearly, because iOS has...
What? *some* threads on Reddit? How many, and when exactly? Can we call that totally irrelevant? I'm talking about a phenomenon that would be...
So? A free ugly game that's quickly consumed is not going to float on reviews. It is not even worth spending the time to type about it much. So...
