UPDATE: Lucky Frame has provided us with some updated stats: Gentlemen! now has over 6,000 players on Android, with just 50 paid downloads.
Gentlemen!, a brand new title from Scottish development studio Lucky Frame, made its debut on Android and iOS last week. It’s been a pretty big success so far, with plenty of acclaim from reviewers, a mention in a British newspaper, and thousands of players worldwide.
But it’s not all good news for Lucky Frame. You see, only 20 of the players on Android actually paid Gentlemen!’s $4.99 price tag, the company revealed to Cult of Android.
The other 3,000 stole it.

Google just sent press invitations out for an event to be held on July 24th, hosted by Android and Chrome chief Sundar Pichai.

Not much is known regarding Google’s plans for Android 4.3, so we’ll have to see what kind of surprises Sundar has up his sleeves. The event starts at 9AM PT and will be livestreamed on YouTube
Since the Explorer launch of Glass, Google has distributed all Glassware through a separate service it specifically set up for downloading apps, which are compatible with the device.
