    Just a heads up, Gameloft pulls some of their older good games from appstore. Hero of sparta 1&2, dungeon hunter 1 are already gone for ever, so if you wona buy some good old games for your colection, now is your chance. More games are gone, i think no retina ones, who knows whats going on next.
    I know this is wrong threat, but everybody reads this threat so just so you all know.

    Who's threating who?
    I don't think this is gameloft's threat, why would they even threat their customers?

    Some games don't even play on iOS 7 or new iphones/ipads I think that's why they're being pulled out of the appstore as most sales are actually later refunded

    Quite possibly the funniest thread/t I've stumbled upon. Godbless the Internets.

    So there is a right threat and a wrong threat?

    They also pulled that Rayman 2 game or whatever.

    It's about time they got rid of their non-functional games, instead of allowing people to waste money on broken crap. Of course... it'd be a lot nicer if these games were just patched up a little so they'd work properly again.

    RE: GAMELOFT pulls some good older games!!!

    Oh, really?

    Call me skeptical, but how do we not know that this original post isn't actually some type of publicity stunt meant to spur sales? Just checked the store catalog, a query of 'Gameloft' shows 155 titles, some from as far back as 2008. This guy almost had me starting to make purchases. Be careful what you read. And as for whoever began this conversation, follow the forum rules.

    It's common for vendors to pull items from the store occasionally. Age may or may not have anything to do with the decision.

    If you already own them, you can re-download them. If you don't own them, you weren't going to buy them.

    I'd rather they updated their older games, but pulling them is perfectly fine.

    As I said, this post was just a heads up. For me, hero of sparta, first brothers in arms works completly fine, like some other older games i own from gameloft. I didnt say buy them now, im just a gamer like all you guys, and i did spend around 20$ today on some older games to fill my colection, and i dont regret, couse some of those games are alot better than those games we geting these days. And until im waiting next 4 games that i want to be relesed, i have time to save till then :)

    To be fair, plenty of Gameloft's games have been gradually disappearing from Gameloft's page for a while now. I first noticed it last year when I wanted to buy the Terminator Salvation game, only to find it had been removed. Ever since then, games like Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Rayman 2 and Earthworm Jim (I believe), among others, have been removed. That's part of the reason why I decided to buy Splinter Cell: Conviction at full price, so as to avoid regretting not having done so in the case it ended up removed as well.

    I think it's far more likely that KoRoV really was trying to give a heads-up to anyone who might benefit from this.

    Exactly. BACKSTAB is a crashing mess on all devices, but inmagine it with the graphics and physics of Gangstar Vegas. Makes it way better.

  15. It is not right to threaten anyone, whether you are a developer or purchaser.

    Threateners often go to jail.

    Rockstar games pulled out GTA CW and update it to bw compatible with the latest iOS. Maybe the same for Gameloft?
