Kongregate App Pulled From Android Market
The other day I downloaded a very nifty app for my Motorola Droid: Arcade by Kongregate. The app promised to offer 300 Flash games on my phone. To be clear, these were all games from Kongregate.com, a Flash-game portal of some renown. I tried a few games and found them to work well and being a geek, wasted no time telling my friends about the app.
A few hours later, it was gone from the Android Marketplace. I assumed Kongregate had found a defect in the app and were preparing a new version, or some other technical issue. But no. It turns out Google pulled the app, saying it violated the terms of service, specifically the part that says:
"You may not use the Market to distribute or make available any Product whose primary purpose is to facilitate the distribution of Products outside of the Market."
