Crazy. Considering five years ago when it first launched it had nothing but a cult type following, its become a phenomenon. Where did it all go right for them aye.

Wonder what Microsoft will do with it though, hopefully they won't f**k it up.

I've not played it in years but I'm hoping they don't make too many changes.
Not sure if it'll stay on Apples app store much longer.

It shouldn't affect the game too much in the short-term but will be interesting to see which direction the game takes now.

Why would it not stay on Apple stores?

You'd have to be insane to remove it, don't forget Apple take a crap load of profit anyway. And if you think there's that much hatred for MS from Apple, don't forget Office is the #1 selling software for a Mac!
