Makers of Zombies Live Accused of Stealing Players’ Phone Numbers
Storm8, makers of the iPhone games iMobsters and Vampires Live, have had a suit brought against them accusing the company of using a back door to gather users phone numbers. The company, who produces a whole series of “live” games are said to use their software to illegally and automatically gather the numbers of anyone downloads one of their games. BoingBoing is hosting the full text of the lawsuit for any of you legal minded folks. However, given that all of their games are identical shovelware supported by microtransactions, with just slightly different skins, we’re leaning to this being a big old dirty scam, regardless of how many times Storm8 calls it a scam.
