I remember Full Fat saying that they rereleased the game under the name Scramblies instead. I don't know the reasoning behind it, but it is a shame that Coin Drop was pulled because it had a nice charm to it that looks much better than Scramblies in my opinion.

It won't come back because they released the same game with different skins and maybe some different levels as a freemium app. You can get the original from purchased or iTunes if you backed it up

Unbelievable. How does Apple allow this? I'm demanding a refund.

This has become disturbingly common and is highly unethical.

Has a site like TA ever done an investigation into this type of behavior? Good grief.

Is there any easy way to find programs in the purchased log? I got like 5000 games, and if I have to scroll though all of them, it will take days...

Tried to do searchs for coin drop, but it doesn't show up in my purchased log. I bought this game a long time ago, and then deleted it with the intent if loading it back one day.

So is there an easy way to find it in the purchased log without having to scroll though all those games. Can't see why the search function won't work, or is the game totally pulled which means we can't load it though the purchased menu? I've lost some games this way too.

If you can't find it with search in purchase history, then you never had it (on the iTunes account you're logged in to), or it was pulled from the servers completely.

I just checked my purchased apps and the original Coin Drop was available to download. (purchase history definitely needs a search option, thankfully they've added the 'hide' option)

if you ever delete it off your device, you can always redownload it later.

At least Full Fat left this option for users (downloading the original), rather than other devs who just convert the existing app and leave no way for the users to get the original back.

It has had one for quite some time, at least on iPad and iPhone AppStores. I wouldn't be surprised if computer itunes still lacks that feature. It's one of Apple's worst pieces of software.

It does but you cannot search for apps that are no longer in the app store, like the Star Wars titles for example. Same on the iPhone.

Well, definitely bought it, it was one of my first programs that I bought, don't know why haha, but it had good reviews.

I've had this problem before with pulled games where I would do a search, and then couldn't find it. But if I scrolled through 5000 entries in my purchased section, it would show up.

Maybe it was because I mistyped the name to not the exact name, but it seems to not find them in search. For example, tried all these pulled games

Tetris
Bejeweled 2
Coin drop
Astrowings
Crates nightshift
Kick the buddy

I dunno, there are a lot more, but if I try these in my search on purchased, none of then show up. So I don't think that search works.

Most of these have shown up if I scroll though the 5000 games, but this can be a very long process, so it is not worth my time or aggravation for a buck. But it is pretty dissapointing to completely lose games. Games like crates nightshift changed developers and it changed names to freight frenzy, that game I can't find at all now. So I guess it was pulled completely.

Anyway, I kind of feel that that search function doesn't seem to work well for pulled games. But if others here have bought games like the old tetris or bejeweled 2 and got it to show under the searchs, I would be surprised, cause it doesn't work for me. Unless the names are slightly different.

Well that's pretty bogus. Thanks for clearing that up. I just tried it out myself, and had the same problem. C'mon Apple
