    I'm really sad that Kairo, one of my favorite games on any platform ever, is off the App Store. It is still on steam however (I believe).
    Another one is the Icarus Box. I never finished that one when I had it because it was very unsettling and was waiting for when I was in the mood to really delve into its secrets. It's gone now, and unlike Kairo, it's not on any other platform :( very sad.

    Omfg!! Mass effect and dead space???!? Wtf!!

    Man that is wounding, i cant even laugh at that, its crazy that quality premium games we spend money on get shitted on like this....its crazy.

    They should put notices on their apps saying... "4 yeat maximum life span"...."or potentially can break on next uodate"

    Bet they wouldnt have sold half as much in sales if that was pointed out from the start.
    I know this is the sort of environment we are dealing with on ios but its just so frustating!

    I fired up an old game in my backlog today called.... The Heist, the score... And it is a fantastic fps, so satisfying and i would reccomend getting if still available....and this game is older then those! Yet works like a charm.

    To me its such a shame that games worked on by devs can be deleted so we cannot get access to them anymore #

    Do a Backup to iCloud on you're IPad,I Back up to iCloud every day,I don't know You.Go to Setting,scroll down until you see iCloud/backup and with you're iPad in Charge and on wifi,do a complete backup(you need to have all you're App"on"same for Mail,messages,settings,all! and when I mean all I mean all,if something it's disabled,you don't get that after restore. After you got a fresh backup go to Setting "Restore" Tuch restore,you're iPad it's like when you bought it,whit the OS that was installed when you purchase it. Warning:I never have problem doing so,but I backup to iCloud everyday.if you're not sure what you do,don't do it.

    Dammit! Infinite Cosmos is gone :(

    Every time I upgrade phones I lose games.

    It pissed me off so much that you can't keep games in your iCloud that are removed from the store!! ####

    Man since i found this thread i cannot believe how many fkn games have been removed!! Sorry for the swear but its too emphasise just how pissed i am!!! Lately ive been going thru a phase where im playing old games for nostalgia and so many have been removed especially by the rip off merchant gameloft.
    I know some wud argue how long can they keep updating games, but if thats the case why not put a shelflife warning on your apps!!!
    Went to play zombie infection by gameloft and surprise surprise..

    Both gone from purchase history. Apple pulled their license from the Palm Kingdoms developer over a violation, and Saturday Morning RPG's publisher didn't renew their App Store license. The developer of Saturday Morning RPG is considering options for bringing it back, but it looks like no matter what they do, you'd have to pay again.

    I apologize if this has been mentioned, but GeoDefense, GeoDefense Swarm, and a third game I owned by CriticalThought with vector graphics and a matching mechanic are gone from both the App Store and purchase log. All three games worked fine. I had them installed for months only to find them gone after changing my mind on uninstalling some apps.
