I love playing MMORPG's and on the occasion FPS's, currently no mobile device can provide me with a high resolution 22" (minimum) display to game on... So for me, mobile devices are out-of-the-question as far as gaming is concerned!
I'm sure mobile devices will "somehow" provide large displays (projection or "VR glasses") one day, but right now they don't.
I'm sure I'm in the "minority", but for me a smart phone is nothing more than an electronic calendar that can make phone calls!
I'm not convinced that it is a "bold-faced lie" as you put it.
I'm more inclined to believe it is a case of laziness in assuming that the recording is theirs - I'm not sure if the sounds are copyrighted, however I do know that you can purchase animal sounds. My *guess* is that they simply believed that the sounds in the background came from one of their recordings, without ever varifying it.
If that is the case, then they should be fined and have to pay "inconvenience damages" to the author, that way in future they'll take the time to make SURE something is theirs before claiming rights to it!
