- Apple says they're removing my game because it's more than 2 years old https://twitter.com/protopop/status/1517701619374338050 410 comments
- I feel sick. Apple just sent me an email saying they’re removing my free game Motivoto because its more than 2 years old. It’s part of their App improvement system. This is not cool. Console games from 2000 are still available for sale. This is an unfair barrier to indie devs. https://twitter.com/protopop/status/1517701619374338050?s=21&t=QugwxgMncwLWQWgwCFPdPA 195 comments apple
