WTF do i have to buy the exact same game again??????????? is it remastered or what???? psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,966 718 113 England #4 psj3809, Mar 14, 2018 Yeah its putting me off buying apps at release. Granted companies sometimes sell apps to someone else (Titan Quest) but its frustrating as apps either disappear or are re released at the same price. Seems quite scammy Only bought this game a few months back deresi Well-Known Member Feb 23, 2018 434 72 28 #5 deresi, Mar 14, 2018 For some reason, recently the suppliers of some games have changed. Why don't they explain it in advance? And what about it? After all, the damage was done to gamers... psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,966 718 113 England #6 psj3809, Mar 14, 2018 Yeah its frustrating. Granted some companies dont make money and move on but its us losing out Its still in my purchased list but obviously wont be updated by Nomad anymore. Ive emailed them to check Can see stuff like this happening more and more Gwarmaxx Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2010 4,446 376 83 NCC 1701 #7 Gwarmaxx, Mar 14, 2018 Last edited: Mar 14, 2018 i don't understand this policies, i.e. in case of Talisman, if you want to leave it at a premium price (while there's another identical version in the store), at least you could give a couple of free DLCs, if not, who gonna buy it knowing that will not have any more updates psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,966 718 113 England #8 psj3809, Mar 14, 2018 This ones just as bad.

I'll reach out to developers who released heavily featured premium games as early as last year who have just given up on the platform as they're not even making enough money to pay for the $99 developer license to keep their stuff up on the App Store.

You can keep using the version that you already have. Someone else is now publishing the game and due technical reasons related to how the Apple Store works we needed to resubmit the app again.

I always go on about buying up front to help devs but when this happens (again recently) Im tempted to not bother. Want devs to get lots of sales but just frustrating when this happens lezrock Well-Known Member Mar 6, 2010 102 3 18 #13 lezrock, Mar 14, 2018 I also bought it by nomad games. They sold it and now its rereleased and I wont get any updates or support only a few month later? I feel scammed. Dangerous situation for premium games and their already broken reputation on iOS.

In the old days a $10 game was say £6 (e.g a proper conversion) Now i'm nervous whether to keep buying apps straight away or not. It seems like 'company a' releases a game, they dont make as much money as they thought so offer it out there, 'company b' agree to buy it, rights/assets etc and then re-release it. I'm 'hoping' stuff like this will be quite rare but recently theres been Talisman, Titan Quest and now this. Thinking of getting a new iphone soon and i'm worried quite a few of my purchases wont be available to download. I cant believe the app stores screwed up, with so many millions of people buying iphones surely you would think there would be a market for gaming, but i dont know, what with the rise of freemium and now this, I dont think i'll buy as many premium games now as this situation 'may' happen Gwarmaxx Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2010 4,446 376 83 NCC 1701 #16 Gwarmaxx, Mar 14, 2018 Last edited: Mar 14, 2018 but the main Talisman strategy is not so bad, new version on Asmodee is free and the issue is with the retrieving of IAPs that doesn't seem to work fine, while the insanity here is keeping the old identical version at a premium price (4 or 5 bucks) with a warning that it will not get more updates!!! can you believe that??? where's the genious that had this idea? wanna shake his hand!!!!

I.E. if you go into your purchase history on the app store on your device you'll still see the app listed there and available to download. If you go directly into the 'front' of the app store however, it'll either be not found, or the 'new' version from a different publisher will be shown and you would have to pay to download from that location.
