Pocket God Developers Are Obnoxious Do-Gooders

Last night Pocket God [iTunes $0.99] launched their one millionth update called … Crack Is Wack. Ok … it wasn’t Pocket God’s one millionth update, but it certainly seems that way … we stopped counting after thirty.

Pocket-God-Update-1

Crack Is Wack introduces a new god power that allows players to crack the ground underneath a pygmy. You can then drag the pygmies into the crack and be transported to an underground hellhole full of lava, bats and giant demons. Once inside this lava paradise, a new mini-game initiates called “The Runs”.

There’s some other cool stuff in the Crack Is Wack update as well … including the ability to download all in-app purchases (normally priced at 99 cents each) for FREE …

Pocket-God-Update-2

OOOPS! Well, at least we know the Pocket God developers are class acts … employing the “honesty is the best policy” no matter what the circumstance. LOL … freaking do-gooders … turn down that obnoxious halo.

Listening to the two most influential figures in technology is absolutely amazing … we highly recommend you check it out. Click here to view the  highlight reel of the awesome Jobs/Gates interview at D5.

Namco’s Pac-Man Stolen By German Company, Published As PiCK MAN!

While Apple is busy censoring the App Store, it seems they make no effort at all when it comes to copyright issues. We recently discussed the blatant Doodle Jump ripoffs … Doodle Jumper and Doodle Drop … and if that wasn’t enough to raise an eyebrow at Apple, now a German food company, Bahlsen, has ignored copyright laws and published PiCK MAN!

pick-man-1  pick-man-2

Three weeks ago, our friends at The APPera reported this latest copyright infringement in the App Store, yet PiCK MAN! still remains available for download. It’s shocking how one of the most popular video games ever, Pac-Man, could be shamelessly bootlegged, fly through Apple’s approval process and be available for sale … like it’s no big deal.

pac-man  pick-man-3

So lesson learned … when it comes to Apple approving overtly sexual apps, it ain’t gonna happen. However if a developer feels like profiting from an app by stealing someone else’s original work … Apple is just fine approving the ripoff application.

Oh and by the way … as an iPhone game, PiCK MAN! completely sucks. The controls are such crap that moving the character is virtually impossible … thus making the game unplayable. Look … if you want to play Pac-Man, just buy the real deal from Namco [iTunes $4.99 and FREE] … life is too short to play stolen video games.

Porn Prevalent Again In The App Store, Despite Apple’s Best Efforts [NSFW]

As we began reporting back in June 2009, Apple has a zero-tolerance policy for porn and nudity in the App Store. Any application found with revealing nipple or crotch-shots, have been nailed with Apple’s ban hammer : 

06/25/09 – Hottest Girls … 07/01/09 – BeautyMeter … 07/30/09 – theXchange … 08/21/09 – Check myHottie … 09/15/09 – My X Girlfriend … 01/21/10 – forChan

But as you can see from the above examples, despite Apple’s “No Bra – No Panties – No App Store” rule, pornography manages to sneak past the gatekeeper. Developers continue to risk their good status with Apple in return for full frontal nudity glory.

The latest examples of App Store pornography are from Korean-based developer MSHOT Co., Ltd. They currently have three applications for sale on the App Store … all containing explicit sexual content and nudity … Top Secret 2, Model Pose and Model Pose 2.

Top-Secret-2
Model-Pose-Title
Model-Pose2-Title

The presentation and previews of the three applications in the App Store are very subtle. Their descriptions simply read, “Pocket Girls Series” … while preview screenshots are an enigma as well, encouraging viewers to visit Yashot.com for examples of in-app content.

Models-Pose-Preview

But make no mistake about it … Top Secret 2, Model Pose and Model Pose 2 contain overtly sexual content to the highest degree. Breasts, nipples, vaginas and ass … name the naked body part, these apps have it.

MSHOT-1C  MSHOT-2C

MSHOT is no stranger to sleaze apps … we’ve covered some really weird shit from them (DVD Room, Mesmerism and Drunken Girls to name a few). However Apple’s war on smut put MSHOT out of business … well sort of. Less than one month after Apple banned over 5,000 overtly sexual apps, MSHOT released Top Secret 2 on March 9. On April 29, their second porn app, Model Pose, was launched. And finally, just yesterday, MSHOT’s third explicit sex app, Model Pose 2, became available for sale on the App Store.

MSHOT-3C  MSHOT-4C

So why do porn apps still exist if Apple is dead set against them? Well there are a few methods, but in MSHOT’s case, it appears they duped Apple. The apps’ images submitted to Apple for approval most likely are hosted on MSHOT’s servers. After the three apps were approved, MSHOT could have simply switched the images to the full frontal nudity variety without Apple’s knowledge.

MSHOT-5C  MSHOT-6C

F*cking with Apple is a losing proposition. Just ask developer Charles Rodriguez … developer of the infamous forChan app. Although forChan did not contain nudity, Apple felt Mr. Rodriguez was not forthright when submitting his app for approval and revoked his  developer license. Section 6.1 of the iPhone Developer Program Agreement  states … Apple has the right to terminate developer license for dishonest and fraudulent acts, including trying to hide application functionality from Apple’s review.

Does a similar “6.1 Fate” await MSHOT? We repeat … don’t f*ck with Apple … enough said.
