This is all just BS marketing by Android(with our w/out fanboys).

Pocket Legends is a lame game on iOS. iOS has much better competition for the same genre as Pocket Legends.

The fact that it's doing so well on Android just logically should be embarrassing for Android but if you spin it right I guess it's easy to make it sound like something it isn't. You know, if you're being dishonest to your fellow man/developer doesn't pull your life karma down I guess.

Actually, it's a perfect illustration that a market with less competition allows for easier profits.

With a huge user base, and far fewer apps than iOS, as iOS proponents are so eager to point out, the android market is a great opportunity for developers. The rest of your comments regarding fanboys and karma do not merit response.

I deleted this game months ago because it is just a front to get players to purchase in-game crap with real cash. I moved onto better iOS games that focus on gameplay and not trying to get into my wallet.

This game is making more money on Android because it lacks other great games in the genre. While I applaud them for finding a way to improve their sales, it would be pretty wrongheaded for any developer to think that this is a long term profitable stance.
