You’ve been posting a bit about 2048 lately it you should know that it’s a ripoff of Threes, the far superior and much more challenging game. Why support the ripoff so much and trample on the hard working, original devs? I hope you’ll give them some support since you’ve handed out more than enough to its ripoffs.

Oh.

We want to celebrate iteration on our ideas and ideas in general. It’s great. 2048 is a simpler, easier form of Threes that is worth investigation, but piling on top of us right when the majority of Threes players haven’t had time to understand all we’ve done with our game’s system and why we took 14 months to make it, well… that makes us sad.

It’s complicated and hard to express these conflicting feelings but hopefully this is a start. We are so happy with Threes and how it has done and all the response. Seriously. And even writing this feels like we’re whining about some sour grapes that we have no business feeling sour about. Like it’s not ok to feel the way we do some of the time. But we do.
