Are Ketchapp really "the 2048 guys"?<p>My memory of the situation was that 2048 was a Web game, which took off among a large group of people that Threes didn't reach (people without iPhones, people who weren't going to pay for a small puzzle game, and people who just wanted to play a quick game on the Web).<p>And because it was open source and had an incredibly untrademarkable name, a bunch of app developers made mobile clones of it. I assume that Ketchapp was one of them and that the creator of 2048 was entirely uninvolved. Correct me if I'm wrong. It seems to me that the title should be "Some guys who cloned 2048 also cloned another game".<p>I'm dismayed that someone making a fun, free Web game and expecting nothing in return can turn into a symbol of evil cloning in the mobile game industry. Are we returning to the mindset where open source is seen as maliciously undercutting commercial software?
