The creators of the game stated the main purpose was to elicit a response from people who "fail to realize how their fashionable consumption can have negative effects on people in the globalized world.〔http://www.forbes.com/sites/parmyolson/2011/09/15/infamous-anti-iphone-game-goes-to-android/〕 ==Release== ''Phone Story'' was released on the iOS platform on September 9, 2011, though it was banned by Apple after only four days.〔Brown, Mark (September 14, 2011) ("Apple Bans ''Phone Story'' Game That Exposes Seedy Side of Smartphone Creation ), Wired, accessed December 20, 2012〕〔Gross, Doug (September 14, 2011), ("Apple bans app that shows ugly side of electronics" ), ''CNN'', accessed December 20, 2012〕 Apple cited violations of their developer guidelines as the reason for removing the game,〔Wortham, Jenna (September 13, 2011) ("Game That Critiques Apple Vanishes From App Store" ), ''New York Times'', accessed December 20, 2012〕 though an article published in ''The Guardian'' questioned the validity of their concerns.〔Dredge, Stuart (September 14, 2011) ("Apple bans satirical iPhone game Phone Story from its App Store" ), ''The Guardian'', accessed December 20, 2012]〕 Following the removal of the game, it was released for Android phones, and a free playable Adobe Flash version was made available on the developer's website.〔(Playable Flash version of ''Phone Story'' )〕 The ''Phone Story'' website contains extensive information about the topics touched on by the game, and all profits from the sale of the app go to charities which work in the areas described,〔(''Phone Story'' at YesLab.com )〕 including a donation of over $6000 to a girl injured in a suicide attempt at a Foxconn factory.〔(''Phone Story'' website )〕
