Pirated Fruit Ninja passed the certification?

[alky13]

Fruit Ninja | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States) is this the free game really?

EDIT: Because there was another version back in august and it was pulled off the market.. nevermind, its the game, download it while you can

Pirated?? Why do you think its been pirated?

 

[guillams]

Is an identical copy of! But not a pirated one!

 

[WanderingTraveler]

You have doubts? Report to Microsoft.

It's not Xbox enabled, it's not from HalfBrick and it's blurry as hell. This must be a scam

 

[alky13]

I didnt use the right term in the title, I was just wondering.. why would an Xbox live title suddenly become free without the Xbox live support? The game isnt blurry as shown in the pictures, anyway, its nice to see this being free

Microsoft allowing pirated XAPs to be uploaded to the Windows Phone Store? | WMPoweruser

 

[TMaestro]

So ashamed it is clearly a pirated app which was done buy a guy who has the same nationality with me

 

[FinancialP]

Wow! This is shocking

 

[Martsicky]

I wouldn't recommend you to download it. It might have been modified with malicious code.
However maybe it's just fine and guy has sent it to try out if it will be caught during cert. process.
who knows...

It is just asking for photo and data services.

It's the android fruit ninja . I'm pretty sure . Also , the game supported simultaneous blade based on the multitouch . The windows phone 8 Fruit Ninja can't .

Yup,it is most probably a pirated xap according to most sites,but I downloaded it and played it just to check,it doesn't have any virus and is just like the Xbox one except without the achievements of course.

 

[despertador]

Well, good to know that it's now off the store... It certainly looks like a pirated copy to me

 

[Jazmac]

I strongly recommend this NOT be downloaded. No telling what could get transmitted from your device after installing this.

This is a very sad sad thing. How did it even get in the store? I thought all apps were checked before they were published in the store. I'm very happy to have less apps in the store than to have copied apps running in random. The store should quality apps and should not just go by sheer number. I've already reported this to Microsoft and Halfbrick, the publisher to the original game. Its necessary for them also to be aware of their brand name has illegally been used in a cheap replica and the sad part for now at least is the developers are getting away with that. Hoping to see that app being pulled down from the store real quick.

 

[alky13]

It was already pulled off the marketplace, the market really should be more secure, this event has also happened back in august iirc..

 

[WP8Expert]

This is the WP7 Fruit Ninja. The one halfbrick pulled and replaced with the WP8 version

 

[Gaurav Paul]

Same game or not, it shouldn't be there.

 

[Gaurav Paul]

I'm happy to report that the app has been pulled down from the store. Received a confirmation mail from Halfbrick.
