My Neo Geo app by Robert Broglia is now gone. Missing from the google play store and missing from all my android devices. RetroArch is now missing from the Play store as well. Here is a link to the store showing it missing: http://goo.gl/JMNhj What chicanery goes on here? I would assume that it violated SNK / Playmore's copyright and they had it pulled. What does this mean for the rest of the emulation apps on the store. Is their time limited?
The only part here that really bothers me is that I paid for that app and it doesn't show up under my purchased apps anymore. That is underhanded when there is no warning. This is when I almost side with the crazies about hating on "the cloud" but I refuse. I enjoy the cloud. I like everything synced to each other. It's about connivence and connivence breeds smooth user experience.
I will be keeping an eye on other disappearing apps & will post if I notice others going poof. Of course I could be wrong about all of this. Robert Broglia could have pulled it himself. If I was a developer, and too many people complained ... I couldn't find the pull switch fast enough.
