Hmmm....


SpikeDislike, the original iOS release, was created early.
As I bulked up the game, I decided a "LITE" edition might be useful.
After about a month of bulking up SpikeDislike, I then released the LITE edition, but continued to further bulk up the main version.
As a result, the SpikeDislike LITE App was "newer", but SpikeDislike FULL was "More recent".

The same thing happened with SpikeDislike2. With the updates for the main game being more recent than the LITE edition.
And, again, for Sheep Goes Left.

I tried my best to ensure the full-priced ($0.99) edition was "worth it" when compared to the LITE free edition, and so worked longer on the full version, beyond the release of the LITE.

Which is nice.

It's good to get larger versions when you're paying for them.

Recently, Apple have started to remove old "Abandoned" games from their store.
SpikeDislike1&2 and Sheep Goes Left, along with a bunch of my other games, are now no longer available.

They've been removed because they're "outdated", and Apple are simply cleaning out the crap in order to get the AppStore a bit more organised.

My newer games, like SpikeDislike3 (Link! Buy it! It's Awesome!), are still available to buy, because they've been updated within the past couple of years. But the older stuff is being cleared out to make room for newer, more wonderful games, with AppleWatch and AppleTV integrations, and whatnot.

If you previously bought any of my older games, Apple have vowed that the downloads will still be active. You won't LOSE the old games, you just won't be able to buy them brand new.
I'm ok with all of this.

It doesn't bother me.
Life goes on.

...

So why does this irk me so much..?

Strange how Apple are picking the apps
Which they claim are the ones that are bad.
Seems they'd much rather thwart all the games that are fun.
But leave in the ones with an Ad.
