Ridiculous Fishing

(

)

... that Vlambeer's iOS indie video game Ridiculous Fishing was beat to market by a clone deemed an "overnight sensation" only to release their own version to "near-universal perfect scores"?

Article creation and length check out. Logo has an appropriate non-free rationale. Glad to see that the Gameplay section isn't too long. I think the hook is in good shape. Quick question-- much of the narrative painted and other details in the article about the production team's frustration seems to stem from a single, though substantial interview via Polygon-- has the author attempted to see if any of these details can be corroborated by another source (even a primary one?)

The basic story checks out with other sources. The "clone" ordeal was a high-profile situation in the gaming industry, so there's plenty of coverage (though I find that Polygon always does it best). I added another major source and I plan to continue building out the article in the future. czar · · 04:22, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I've also gone and checked for evidence of plagiarism or close paraphrasing, but the prose looks good as well. Nice work! I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 05:05, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
