Your angst is misplaced.
Rovio, for example, navigated this issue every time there is a release. Every major developer has been able to sidestep the fakes issue, and they make money.
It's dismal, but it is what it is. BBRY botched the launch. As far as it being deliberate, you're not alone; there is growing sentiment that this was done to bring the stock price down.
