Statements like this could mean that you might end up at the stake. Bonfire included.

On android even if an app is featured and the downloads skyrocket there is a certain timespan with good downloads necessary until it has reached a top ranking.
With this there would be more time to remove the fraudulent in app purchases. Using bots or paying for special services and short term "cheats" would also get less effective as such methods would need a much longer investment with high download numbers to work.

FYI, this came up. Kingdom Conquest involved again:
