From the article: "5 out of the 8 founders and executive team are from Digital Chocolate, the makers of Galaxy Life".

So it's a pretty large mis-representation to say they copied another game, as they were on the team who built said game (granted, the writer doesn't do a very good job of conveying that). MUCH different than cloning a competitor.

The game they built is the property of Digital Chocolate, so whether they're from that company or not, they're copying another company's game. The ethics of that are of course debatable.

They copied the gameplay style and tutorial. Again, I mentioned many times it's a smart move. I don't think they copied CODE or did anything shady. But go play galaxy life and then Clash of Clans. It's dead obvious.
