I've only posted my suspicion in this thread, so I have no idea why Facebook has removed your page.

I just find it odd that most other indie game developers are struggling to get Facebook likes, but all it apparently takes is a simple "how many X can you spot in this picture" and $50 worth of Facebook ads.

As said, I spent $50 in Facebook Ads promotion (page and posts) to engage my target audience during the first month. Till today, Facebook represented 62% of the social referrals to my product pages so my monthly spending budget had been increased according to the returns I was getting.

What I find odd is why would someone pay for an illegal service at a rate of 1000 likes for $15 when you could get a lot better outcome from FB Ads with minimal market research and appropriate targeting!

In any case you are free to believe what you want obviously.

EDIT: Maybe you've fallen victim to something like this and this?

That could make sense indeed to explain FB action - thanks for the links!

For the record, I no longer believe you bought fake likes (knowingly). I wasn't aware that legitimately buying Facebook ads could end up getting you mostly fake likes -- I only just found that out when I found the linked articles. I was (and still am) absolutely positive that most of the likes on your Facebook page are fake (compare to Wolfire Games, an indie company that has been working on and selling their game Overgrowth for 4-5 years and are the guys behind the Humble Indie Bundle: their Facebook page "only" has 2054 likes), so the most obvious explanation to me was that those fake likes had been bought willingly. I no longer believe that. I think you've just been hit by something that seems to be a big problem with Facebook ads. I apologize and hope you work it out with Facebook.

to my biggest surprise, facebook is still a thing in 2014 and some people are apparently still buying into the "social" scam
