Recently, there appears to be a new ´´FREE´´ app called Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire, even though the many, many Ads I´ve seen of it ignore the subtitle. The gameplay I´ve seen from the Ads and the Screenshots made me suspicious, and I´ll explain a bit more.

After that atrocious game of war: profit age made millions of dollars, including more than 46000 from a single family thanks to a young teenager, a new ´´FREE´´ app called Mobile strike, or Wallet strike as I like to call it, was released and also made millions.

Both game of war: profit age AND Wallet strike both share the same exact ´´gameplay´´, with an isometric home with buildings to upgrade after a very long timer with resources that are very slowly earned automatically. I´d like to argue that there is no real gameplay in both of them, hence why I don´t call them real games.

After Wallet strike came yet another one of the same exactly designed ´´FREE´´ apps which I´ve already mentioned, and here is where I´m starting to think that all 3 were made by the same people under different names.

Wallet strike was made by Epic War LLC, and Final Fantasy XV (A new empire), was made by Epic Action LLC, who hasn´t made any other apps. Both developers have very similar names, and the fact that they haven´t made anything else made me think that Wallet strike and A new empire were both made by Machine zone, the makers of game of war: profit age, using Sock Puppets, claiming that they´re made by someone else.

I thought one ´´FREE´´ app was enough, but now it had to be 3 that play exactly the same. Clearly, the developers are not satisfied with a few millions, and I feel like they won´t stop reskinning the same basic app multiple times until they have earned a whole billion.

Can anyone do a bit of diggging and researching to see if machine zone really used Sock Puppets?
