> It's the original game that 1024, 2048 etc were cloned from

This argument has always been silly.

Three's didn't invent sliding tile games. Sliding tile games existed going back to the 1980s and 2048's mechanics are different enough that I don't even think they're comparable.

They've existed in wood for a lot longer than that.

It's not different to 1024, and not giving credit where it's due is not unintentional. It's like making a falling blocks game with tetrominoes, but the board is 20 blocks wide, and you "forgot" to mention that it's inspired by Tetris.
