WHY IS THE APP KEEP LAUNCHING BY ITSELF AND RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND?!?

I use the Auto Task Killer and Advanced Task Manager Pro to blacklist and keep terminating Arcade Pro when I am not actively using it, but it keeps popping back up in the background and eating up my phone resources and juice. Why does it keep doing that?!? It is annoying. It is just a game app. It is NOT a system app or an essential app. It does NOT need to be running in the background when I am not using it or playing a game. Can you guys please fix the issue in the next update???

Task managers on Android are bad, stupid, and pointless. The Android OS loads apps into memory as a form of caching. These cached apps are then unloaded whenever the OS needs more memory.
