I dont check the app store new releases very much (like never)

But my god there are a lot of real bad things getting approved... (I know it always goes on..but damn its so annoying, why cant the apple approval process be a bit wiser)

I appreciate, some developers are kids, who maybe aren't too wise in the ways of copyright law...but I suspect its just people wanting to make money without any effort at all...Aaaaah!

-Firstly this, looks very familiar

Bieber Blast
- GameSalad Basic Shoot Em Up template - with unlicenced Bieber photo.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bieber-blast/id438313324?mt=8

Crazy Ball Fall... $4.99 (at least change the name a bit more, and write a description)
- Crazy Ball Wall template
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crazy-ball-full/id438027930?mt=8

This unlicenced Pokemon game... (
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pokemon-find-your-pokemon/id433630045?mt=8

And well this is just criminal... (oh wait thats my new game 'Escape Artist' which was released today :-)

    The contrast in quality of those games with yours is astounding.

    It also shows you how bad and inconsistent the Apple screening process is. Unlicensed IPs should never make it through.

    This might be a stupid question but I noticed you have achievements on the same page as your Gamecenter stuff, are we able to post achievements on GC with Gamesalad now? I thought it was just scores and whatnot.

    Its only the high score that goes to GameCentre... the achievements are built into the game.... The plan was (I haven't done it yet) to unlock different Artist characters for each achievement.

    Some little prick made it and was even using the same monsters.
