Legitimate apps do use the same permission due to Google's screwed up way of handling permissions.

Basically, apps need to access to READ_PHONE_STATE in order to know whether you're in the middle of a phone call or not, to be able to mute sounds or notifications when you are.

This falls under the general phone permission tree, showing as wanting to make phone calls by itself. Yes, it's stupid, but you can thank Google for that one.

Not saying you got rightfully banned though.

I'm enjoying NecroMerger. It has optional ads (no forced short ads either) and the micro transactions are either some general buffs, ad-free version or gems. The gems are dished out royally imo, where I've purchased most of the premium currency content by just playing.

Something you can't play right now but can sign up to play for later: WalkScape. It's an RPG game in a similar style to RuneScape, but you actually have to walk to craft, skill and walk around the map.

The team has often said that they are against microtransactions and other monetization schemes that currently plague the industry, so they have plans to release a freemium version and a paid version.

I remember those memes.

It demonstrated that at the end of the day, it’s all about enjoying games and having fun, rather than getting caught up in trying to justify our preferences and beating down other opinions.

They have to use this language to stay out of legal trouble. Saying things you know aren't true is indeed lying, but you have to prove that they know it's a lie.

Intention to deceive is the key part, and hard to prove. So journalists play it on the safe side and just keep to the facts: they repeated false claims / statements.

No, it's not real. The original source is a satirical news site. Sorry friends.
