Aren't there supposed to be laws or something against stealing IPs?

Something similar has happened over Triple Town, but with Spry Fox choosing to take it to court rather than make snippy comments.

As Zygna has made billions putting a money tap into the reward center of peoples psyches, I think the phrase

"Screw the rules, I have money"

Applies here. Also, if you're the kind of person who's concerned what kind of behavior their social game spending is rewarding, might I suggest giving up on the genre entirely.

Graham, excellent delivery of that crazy month by month release schedule. I got tongue-tied just listening to you.

You know, I would be mad about this whole Tiny Tower thing, but I can't play Zynga's version or the original game on my cell, so clearly not an issue for me.
