While I understand the pain of developers who get their projects cloned, I think bit is a bad idea to make the platforms the arbitrators of intellectual property, especially when it isn't clear what the legal decision would be. While there are complete ripoffs that should clearly be removed, there are also iterative clones that steal some ideas and improve on others. This iterative cloning process has lead to some of the best games ever made and we should be careful about limiting them.

If the indie developer's only reasonable recourse is to petition platforms, we need to reform the laws about to allow indie developer's a realistic and economically feasible route to address clones within the court system.
