How late can someone be? It's been known that since the release and huge publicity in 2010 it got endless clones.

We damn well know that there are tons of knockoffs - but this one is just shameless it's not even a Minecraft clone [quote]Eurogamer also reports downloading the game, only to be met with a top-down swipe affair with zombies and Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. In essence, nothing like Minecraft at all.[/quote]

It's amazing what makes it onto iOS App Store, like "[URL="http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Skullgirls-2-Deadly-Airport-Real-Sequel-Obviously-94737.html"]Skullgirls 2: Deadly Airport[/URL]"
Well, if it doesn't compete with an apple product, looks like they don't care.
This just in: New DOOM clone titled "Call of Duty Black Ops 3" released.

[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;49478973]Well, if it doesn't compete with an apple product, looks like they don't care.[/QUOTE] Microsoft certainly does, though. I can't see this app surviving for too long considering it uses the Minecraft trademark.
This happens all the time and not just with minecraft.
The fact that it is vaguely related to Minecraft is probably the only reason this article was published. I don't believe anything was ever said about the scores of awful Grand Theft Auto/DayZ/*insert popular game here* knockoffs(mostly in name) that people churn out with Game Maker.
