Instead of banging the funpause thread (wow! I see it got closed already) I thought I'd start another thread on the issue of clones. There are two points I hope we could all agree:
1. The parasite cloning of casual games is degrading the reputation of indie games (among players, mainstream developers and publishers) and slowing innovation.
2. The developers will not stop cloning by themselves because they need the easy money it provides. (Kinda like Cartman's mother in South Park).
Now if we agree on those points, does anybody have an idea of something we could do to stop it? Any idea? If not let's stop bringing up the subject so often (especially in poor Emmanuel's threads).
