I wonder if you phrased it the way the Play store does: This game wants permission to:

send SMS messages
make calls
know your location
stalk your family
raid your fridge
access, read and upload files
manage and add contacts
cup your balls
go through your trash
irritate your boss

etc.

Think anyone would install them?

Anyone who says that while wearing pants is a filthy liar.

of course, people don't even look at play store permissions

I suppose they do suffer from the "Known in the state of Cancer to cause California" problem. A bubble level app wants in-app purchases and GPS access.
