SIO2 Interactive spamming votes to get his/her applications to Extras
 
SIO2 Interactive created 2 games HoopsFrenzy & SoccerFrenzy

Then 10 users with 0 karma voted pretty much at around the same time.

No doubt SIO2 Interactive created these users to spam votes getting these apps to Extras.

BTW the new versions crashes if you happen to notice when closing the dialog asking to upgrade to full.

That does sound rather suspicious, but putting a question mark after your thread topic would have been a bit less antagonistic. Maybe one of the maemo.org staff members should look into it? I don't want to jump to conclusions, but if a commercial company is circumventing our community QA procedures, then that's not cool, and should be dealt with.
@OP: did you send a message to anyone as well as posting this?

Correction, it's a free trial (one level) with more levels/scenarios if you pay.

SoccerFrenzy does have one demo level, you just need to dismiss the prompt.

Dismissing the prompt crashes the application, how it gets 10 votes is a miracle.

I haven't message anyone else as not sure who to message to that can deal with this sort of stuff??

It's a good find, that seems to be suspicious but I will leave the judgment to the mod....

However for the crash you mentioned I don't exactly remember but it seems to be that's how is was?

I hope this doesn't turn out to be true, as I've been impressed with what sio2interactive are trying to do on the N900, with their engine and all. Still, that's a pretty serious allegation you are making there Venomrush, and you should be careful about making such claims without having evidence. Have you contacted the voters to check who they are? Have you asked sio2interactive himself?

Re: SIO2 Interactive spamming votes to get his/her applications to Extras
 
Given that all of the votes came from users with no karma who registered on the same day and with just enough time between votes for someone to log out of one account and into another, I'm going to stick my head out and say they're abusing the system here.

The funny thing is every 'real' person who seems to have tried it reports that it contains a major bug, exactly the sort of thing that the QA process is designed to catch.
