Comment on Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us?

Harebrained Schemes’ critically acclaimed Shadowrun games disappeared from the Play store years ago – I played them back in the day on my Shield K1. The apps supported modding, and changes to the Google Play TOS meant they would require significant updates to make them compliant with new policies.
Harebrained worked on it halfheartedly for a year or two, but eventually decided not to bother updating them, so they were gone forever.

Not if you got the Humble Bundle version.
I have the APKs if any legit owners need them.

I also have the Humble Bundle version :-)
I don’t really do Android gaming any more, the Shield K1 is long gone and my cheap-ass Chinese tablet is mostly for Newpipe and other Android-only media consumption.

Is the original Shadowrun APK actually available legitimately anywhere? I didn’t look too hard, but it seems Steam doesn’t have it. (Ironic because Shadowrun Returns supports Remote Play from tablets.)

I’m so annoyed that all my 32-bit Humble APKs don’t run on my Pixel.
Also, would it kill them to rename their .zips to .apks before I download? I know the Humble .apks are basically abandonware but at least rename the files for Pete’s sake!
