About a week ago, I tried to download one of their games but for some reason, every single game/app they ever released is completely missing from the Google Play Store. I can’t even download them through my library. I tried sending them an email but they never responded. Both their social media and their website seem to be abandoned and mention nothing about their sudden disappearance. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a developer just completely disappear like that, does anyone know what happened to them?
Also, because it’s relevant to a recent movement* and I feel like mentioning it, the game I was trying to download was Lophis Roguelike:Card RPG game. I bought this game a few years ago but it didn’t work on my tablet, so I added it to my backlog of android games, thinking that I could eventually try it on a different device. Seeing that this game is no longer officially available, this is a game that I payed for but never got to actually play.
*The movement I’m referring to is stopkillinggames.
sometimes investment firms will buy an entire portfolio of businesses… the titles that arent really profitable are then ‘set it, and forget it’. the popeil two-step. kinda smells like that here.
pure conjecture
But the thing is that, even with apps that haven’t updated in years, I can usually download them from my library. But in the case of DreamSky, every app they ever released is completely missing from my library, they’re even missing from my purchasing history.

That’s the “movement” that I was referring to in my post.
I forgot to mention it in my previous comment but because I don’t own the crew, the only option available for me in my country, is to spread it on social media. I’m also going to add that link to my post because I just realized that I probably should.
