    Hi everyone,

    I've made some changes to the original post. This could end up being a long list so interested in suggestions as to how to list everything over time.

    The two older Call of Duty are doomed. The newer one, Black Ops Zombies is okay

    One of them was last updated in 2014, the other in 2010. Not sure which ones you're looking at.

    Provided the developer keeps paying Apple their developer license fee each year, I can't see why not. But I doubt developers whose entire library is wiped by this move will bother re-upping their license.

    Correct. And the only solution I've found is to download the games to your computer.

    Not device, since the apps are trimmed down for the device they're installed on.

    When downloaded to your computer you essentially have the 'package' ready to install on your other devices. Wish I'd found this out before Otto decided not to renew.

    The Pantheon Cycle: Shrouded Aspect.
    Developer has told me that he is unable to update the code for 64bit.

    And the classic action rpg Darkstone, that runs a treat on my 12.9" iPad Pro, is also destined for the apocalypse rubbish bin #

    I have a question please if anyone can answer.

    Has Apple officially said that on the day that iOS 11 is released that simultaneously all 32bit games will be removed from the App Store?

    Reason I am asking is because there are a number of 32bit games I have not yet purchased but I am interested in buying and putting on my old iPad 3 (which is now my dedicated iOS 9, 32bit game haven) but I am waiting to see if the devs have a pre apocalypse sale.

    If Apple intends to remove 32bit games from the App Store immediately on iOS 11 release day then I best purchase them now?

    It's a tricky one, we're not too sure what will happen. Apple have said they're dropping 32-bit support entirely come iOS 11, however users with the beta say that games can be found but cannot be downloaded from the App Store. I'd guess they'd start removing them - especially from search - to remove clutter, and although there's a chance they may still be accessible by the specific links, it's probably better getting any games sooner rather than later.

    Hi peoples,

    I've added a link to a Google Spreadsheet to the OP. It's not open for editing, but feel free to add comment where there's gaps.

    Loads of new additions from the new article & forum added.

    If you have a moment, please check out the spreadsheet & add comments for missing details for your fave games.

    There's a lot of you & just one of me, but I'm trying to keep up :)

    On holiday next week so may lose a little ground :D
