I have no more choices...
I bought the mobile game a while back, and it was still installed on my phone.
I recently tried to launch it again, wanting to get it ready for a long flight where I planned to play it.
The game gets stuck on the loading screen indefinitely; it seems to have been abandoned for those of us who purchased it this way.
I noticed it’s no longer directly accessible; you have to go through Crunchyroll or check your Google Play app history.
Stop Killing Games.
I believe that if I pay for a game and it’s still installed on my device, I should be able to enjoy it.
It doesn't seem unreasonable for Terms of Service to include a clause stating that game distribution might end (since publishers pay to keep their games online). But in this case, Brace Yourself Games is acting as if you bought a physical book from a bookstore, and a year later, the publisher lost the rights to the work. Instead of simply stopping the printing of new copies, the publisher sends an employee to your home to break into your bookshelf and chemically erase the ink from the pages of your personal copy. The book remains on the shelf, but it has become completely blank and unreadable.
If buying a game is not a purchase, then pirating them is not theft.
