The game, which lets people become other users' "biggest fans" by sending them hearts, reportedly violated a developer guideline forbidding apps that are "defamatory, offensive, mean-spirited, or likely to place the targeted individual or group in harm’s way." Creator Siqi Chen-told TechCrunch that-Apple took issue with the app assigning numerical values to people. Chen's startup, Hey Inc., released an-Android version of Famous on Google's Play Store this week, and it appears to be the only mobile platform for which Famous will be available until Chen resolves the issue with Apple.
