Last update 2020. I think the playstore delete games that don't get any updates for some time. Just get the apk from an alternative store if you know what I mean.
I know I can do that, but that's not the problem here. I've seen developers remove old games before but I've never seen an entire developer completely disappear.
Also, I've had no problem in the past with downloading old apps from the Google Play Store. For example, about a month ago, I downloaded a game that was last updated in 2016. The Google Play Store usually allows you to download old apps from your library, but as I stated in my post, their apps are completely missing from my library.
Maybe they closed down and had to remove everything due to copyright problems/sales weren't worth having to do costumer services or something like that.
I bet it's not that uncommon either. Just yesterday, I remembered a game I saw years ago called 'green project' that was in early access at the time and wanted to check it out. so I went to look for it but it was gone despite the game still being sold on steam and being on version 1.4.2, but the last update was on 2022.
I mean, if that was the case, why didn't they mention that anywhere and wouldn't their website also be shut down as well?
Perhaps it Happened too fast to react, or maybe they didn't really care. It's Likely the latter.
Not really. Hosting a website cost pennies and they probably want to keep the domain name.
I remember playing ketchapp games years ago and I went looking for them a month ago they were all gone.
They still exist tho : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ketchapp.dunkshot
