There are 5 million people in the world that care about 15 year old elf pixels?

Yeah, this is pretty shitty.

There is ZERO reason an information app for a Video game , let alone emulated version, requires microphone, camera, contacts, and other usage.

Except for the explicit reason of taking said information and selling, or using for other shifty reasons.

This is probably exactly why apple refuses to publish your app. It must be bad if they wont, because even they have shifty apps that steal info!

hey buddy, before jumping to conclusions, perhaps you should look under the developer account i published the application on. This developer account has hundreds of published apps. This developer account also has good reputation. perhaps that will place things inter perspective

If it has such a good reputation and you're such a nice guy, why dont you remove the irrelevant and CLEARLY pointless permissions from the app?

There is zero need for most of those for the EQ "wiki" app. And probably no need for most of your apps either, if I had to venture a guess. I dont think i have more than 1 app on my phone that requires access to my contacts. It just doesnt sit well with me.

if the permissions are harmless, why dont you explain to people why your app needs those permissions rather than just insulting people? i think you would find people a lot more responsive if you actually answered questions rather than evade.

anyone that evades questions such as these is un-trustworthy, regardless of any trumped up stats on a website.

This is why software people and engineers are not good at dealing with customers...

It does nothing to answer the actual (very simple!) question: why are you asking for permissions for those device functions and data?

[Ivvl]

Hopping aboard the skeptical train!

You mention that your account the app is published under has other apps (thereby implying we should trust you), yet I took the time to randomly check a number of these apps. ALL of the ones I checked had permissions requiring location, camera/microphone, and media files. Why would an app for news about a college football program (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...apps.n68220099) require all of said permissions, let alone one that is supposed to be an knowledge bank for EQ?

I eagerly await your insult...I mean reply.

they sell the info obtained to marketing agencies etc, duh.
