why are old games taken off the app stores?

272 viewsOtherTechnology

For an example, the huge success that came from the original Diner Dash games. They weren’t online and they had no in-app purchases, so they wouldn’t need upkeep or support – why not keep them on the app stores? From my recollection, they were hugely popular. What would be the harm in keeping them available to download on a new system?

The operating system is changing. Things that use to be fine are no longer allowed. That leaves 2 options, allow legacy support (generally there is a reason the features are no longer supported), or dont allow old apps to run. Phones opted for option 2 generally, and since the app wont run on the device, why show it when that device searches on the app store?
