Unethical Developer.
This game like many other games and applications, starts off with the ever obnoxious pop up stating "Do You Want To Accept Push Notifications", or something to that effect.
Like always, I immediately hit the "No" or "Cancel" or "Decline" button, I cannot remember exactly what it offers at the moment, but the point being that I always flat out deny Push Notifications in any and all applications that I have installed on my iPad 4.
But, does my choice matter to this unethical and shady developer? No, no it doesnt. This is ever so evident by the anger-inducing fact that on three occasions now I have been greeted by my iPad upon turning it on, with stupid "Come Play Joe Danger" Push Notifications. What this means, of course, is that this developer and many like him. Intentionally program and code their applications so that no matter which choice the user makes pertaining to whether they Do or Do Not want to accept Push Notifications from said app. Well, they intentionally rig their apps so that you are going to receive these annoying notifications, regardless of whether you chose to decline them or not.
I would be willing to bet too, that engineering your application to override a users choice in regards to Push Notifications, is very much against the contract and policies that you agree to with Apple, when you sell your applications on the App Store. So it is so very apparent that this developer and many others just could not care less about rules, guidelines, ethics and most of all, user choice relating to Push Notifications. I find it truly abhorrent that big name developers like this, are allowed to perpetrate such shady and unethical practices such as this, and I will definitely not be further supporting these crooked schemes by continuing to support these developers with my money. You might get away with this trash for right now, but you will not see another penny from me in your future.
