This, I have to admit is flawed logic. You can have all the cash in the world, but you need friends, at the very least. If you don't, you'll be depressed no matter how many fancy psychologists you can hire.

He didn't want to create an app where user-identifiable information was harvested for the NSA/GCHQ/etc.

When did he say that?

Read between the lines. It's well known that every mobile game of note tracks your information and is used by these so called security agencies to spy on you. Why else would someone so young give up the wealth generated? It's because to continue to do so would violate peoples right to privacy, and clearly his nobility is worth more than his income.
 
Wow, it was such a popular game and so much contoversy came along with it... I have not really tried it, was it any good? This thread has mixed opinions, as far as I see.

Now I know that Google and Apple just don't give a damn anymore about hiding their intentions, but I find this to be a bit too paranoid. There is nothing to indicate this at all.

Then again, the only apps I have installed is a graphing tool, a ticket app for the bus and a SNES emulator, which I've used twice or something. Playing games on a phone just feels ... cheap.

Actually it was in the news the other day.

What? That some apps have backdoors? I know that. My point was there was no evidence whatsoever for the conclusion that it was withdrawn based on such an assumption, at least as far as I've seen.
 
Which is what I've said I know already. However, jumping to the conclusion that this is why he pulled it is stupid. There's no evidence.

I posted that just in case you wanted the details, I don't think he took it down over personal information being leaked.
All we know is that he "couldn't take it anymore".
