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.

    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?

      why didn’t they mention that anywhere

      Perhaps it Happened too fast to react, or maybe they didn’t really care. It’s Likely the latter.

      wouldn’t their website also be shut down as well?

      Not really. Hosting a website cost pennies and they probably want to keep the domain name.
