The fanboy is strong with this one.

Meh. This is pretty typical among game fans, especially online competitive game fans. And I say that as a game programmer. And what he lacks in subtlety he makes up in passion and enthusiasm. He doesn't like the game. Oh well. Still, the basic point he makes is legit - with less compelling games in the field, the mediocre ones get a brighter spotlight shone on them.

It's actually a really good point. A game like this can do better on Android because iOS has so many more well-known, competing games in the genre. Since Android has so little, the user base is funneled through fewer games.

As for fanboys, I find Android fanboys to be the worst because they loudly tout "openness" as if it justifies everything.
