so, is that all these big game companies do, just copy?

Seems that King and Zynga have been called out a few times recently.

So are they hoping that they can clone a game just enough and hope people buy it because of their name versus some indie dev you may not have heard of?

That's pretty much the business model. Copy ideas and execute faster than the original developers because they have more resources.

Well, don't just limit it to big companies. Small companies, even startups just copy away. And it's not just games, but apps in general.

I dont think I see it as often in other apps. Look at the hype around Flappy Bird clones right now.
