While they are similar in many ways, the way the games operate is quite different, too. And I say that as someone who bought 3s on Android and enjoys 2048 in its many variants.

I'm glad that 2048 at least changed the formula some as opposed to being a pure rip-off. And they obviously got some gain from the fact the game could be played online without needing a smartphone.

Making 1024 and putting something akin to 'Why waste money on Threes, here's a copy' in the app description was just classless though. I don't see any redeeming value in that.
