Just because you can&amp;#x27;t imagine giving up $50k&amp;#x2F;day doesn&amp;#x27;t mean that he&amp;#x27;s weak or stupid for doing it (which is the implication I get from this sentence).</text></comment>

Why is everyone so obcessed with the 50k&amp;#x2F;day. It&amp;#x27;s his game and he can do with it whatever he wants! Just because it earns him a lot of money and it is the #1 game in the app stores it doesn&amp;#x27;t make him obligated to make the choices you would make.&lt;p&gt;Maybe taking it off the market is a stupid decision (which I&amp;#x27;m in no position to comment, as the context is a bit too complex). There are guys that accept to be kicked in the nuts for a youtube video. It&amp;#x27;s stupid, but it&amp;#x27;s their nuts. They can do whatever they want with it.&lt;p&gt;With that said. While IMO it&amp;#x27;s ok to do this king of thing, the guy still has it&amp;#x27;s copyright. By your logic &amp;quot;I don&amp;#x27;t steal because I may be arrested&amp;quot; is a valid thought. It&amp;#x27;s not. You shouldn&amp;#x27;t steal because it&amp;#x27;s WRONG!</text></comment>
