What are your thoughts ? sady if a game doesn’t sell enough I can see why they would take this approach. Don’t like it but can understand
To be quite honest...neither. If devs don't offer previous players/users a way to restore their already-owned "premiumness" of a game/app or give people the option of getting a lifetime subscription (whether with an offer or not), their app is getting insta-deleted. The developers of Enpass, GoodReader, Afterlight and Infuse, for example, have been phenomenal in that regard.
It feels upsettig when I bought something, then it became free with in-app purchase to remove ads or unlock the full version. I had to contact dev for a free code. I hope there is/will be a smoother transition
