Draw Something Is A Total Ripoff Of Depict

I lost my **** at "Here's Pictionary".

The people that come out with the ideas that capture the younger audience, regardless of whether they are original or not, will always make money. You make extremely good points, but all it takes is one teenager to find something mindless like this, spread it to all their friends, and then suddenly it becomes viral. I am a teacher and I work with a over a hundred 15-17 year olds, and they are obsessed with this game. I actually used the Pictionary example you used, but they don't care. One kid somewhere thought it was trendy and then that's it. They got into it, followed by the friends, grandparents, whatever. What's even better is a lot of these kids that get into this can't relate to these ideas' origins. In summary, we can slam our faces into the wall all we want on this one, regardless of the stupidity of it all, its just always going to be a fact. Someone quick, come up with a Connect Four App called "Four in a Line" or some stupid s*** like that.

I was actually recently at an arcade with some friends and there were a TON of people playing this giant digital Connect Four game except it was called something different. I accidentally said pretty loudly "How much of a loser do you have to be to come to an arcade to play Connect Four?" and was instantly super embarrassed.

Your comment implies this game is not good or just hype, when actually it is really fun. Generally things have to have some kind of appeal to be popular, and original or not this game is great

Yes unfortunately originality does not always equal money and sometimes a ripoff does. The reason this is good for consumers is that an idea will be continually refined by multiple sources until the most enjoyable version is eventually produced

What Chunibrow said. It's called innovation folks. Seriously.
