Clash Of Clones: Why Are there so many Bejeweled and Clash Of Clans Ripoffs?

What's going on guys, it's Josh here with another discussion for you today! Since my previous discussion about the Counter Strike: Global Offensive keys being way too expensive. was really popular, I'm going to be doing something close to that here.

This has always been a popular topic, so I thought that I should take a shot at a discussion-based post. Ever heard of the games Bejeweled and Clash of Clans (who hasn't)? Well, it turns out that there are a crap-ton of clones that all look and play pretty much exactly the same.

I think that this is so stupid, and It's hard to accept the fact that some developers are so lazy that they just make a cheap clone of a popular game instead of getting off their butts and having some actual creativity. Just look at all the creative developers out there- Ndemic Creations, Blindflug Studios, Ninja Kiwi, Rovio, the list just goes on and on. It is really astonishing that with all the fantastic opportunity to create a meaningful game that has its own personality and is unique, people are still making cheap clones of games that have been successful in the past.

But which clones am I talking about? There are way too many to put in this list, but I'll try to put the most important ones-

Clash of Clans ripoffs: Castle Clash (Although it did have some aspects that were unique), Clash of Samurai, Star Wars Commander, Call of Duty Heroes, and Friendly Fire.

Bejeweled ripoffs: Candy Crush Saga (yes, it totally sucks, let's see how much hate I'm gonna get for this lol), Jewels, Juice Cubes (Rovio's most unoriginal game), Pet Rescue Saga (pretty much everything made by King is the same money-sucking crap), and Candy Crush Soda Saga.

So, there you have it! The whole point of me writing this is for you guys to participate in the discussion, so if you have anything to contribute then please leave a comment down below!

Thanks for reading, you guys are awesome!
