    Which is why I specified that it's the warehouse that gets targeted. ;)

    It's also why I called it a "Flawed Analogy" - because someone always comes along and points out that the analogy is different, which is in fact the very point of using an analogy...

    Anyway, there's no equivalent to the actual truck here. The point is that their role begins and ends at transaction management and data transmission. The fact that people do dodgy stuff with the data that has been transmitted isn't within that.

    .NET Reflector: You use C++ to solve such problems. So IL2CPP will solve this.

    But I think many games are copied by just recreating them. As long as they don't steal your resources not much can be done about it. Sad thing is if these guys recreate a game in a week you needed 6 months to create. Simple solution: create more complex games.

    Uh, perhaps because it violates the app store terms of usage??

    I strongly suspect that that's there to protect them, not developers. They can't be held responsible for implicitly granting a right if they're explicitly denying it.
