What law prevents Apple from doing that, but somehow doesn't effect Steam or GOG?
King of Dragon Pass just received a pretty substantial update. This game owns.
Came to post this. They're so awesome.
I still see the game in my purchased list, and can still download it. The only time Apple removes an app from your purchased list I think is if it's in violation of the store rules (porn, etc.)
Why do you think we pay you the big bucks?

That's seriously nuts that Bladur's Gate was pulled. I've been busy and haven't had a chance to play it-but I'm glad I bought it when I did.

I might pick it up in bundle, but after treatement like that I know I will never again buy this dev's game full price, on either iOS or PC.

it's not even the future. it's this weird split timeline.
From a hardcore gamer perspective this was a no brainer port for vita... yet its on ios for $20.
Crazy.
First time I launched this, it asked if I wanted to restore a level 5 save game saved online "That I saved earlier today", what? Bad save ID coding or what? Seems like someone else's save here. Has weapons, unlocks and a bunch of levels unlocked.
Shitty controls, unexciting gameplay.. kawaiii? blergh.

If you think the controls are bad then you don't like any game with virtual sticks. Movement is spot on, upgrade your characters abilities for more flexibility. I don't know why you already have save data, nobody else seems to have that problem.
Literally the first thing I saw when I started the game the first time after pressing No I don't want any push notifications was another popup asking me if I wanted to restore a Level 5 save game saved on 19/6/2013 - Yes/No, at which point I pressed Yes and the game restarted with that save and dumped me on the game map with a 40% filled xp bar on character level 5. Very bizarre.

That's odd, I'm pretty sure the game launched in the US yesterday at 11PM EST. Try emailing them: cs@mihoyo.com
I'm having the same problem on my iPhone 5. Installed no problem on my iPad tho.
Tunesmith must have been a beta tester on the game and he didn't even know it!
Do you have enough space to install it? Try signing out of your store account, and then back in. If that doesn't work, try restarting your device.

20 GB free, neither signing out or restarting worked and the same thing happens on my iphone.
Edit: can download and buy other apps
Have concluded this is an iOS 7 glitch, I wonder where the save game is coming from though.
I re-produced it by deleting the game and re-installing it:
The date is now 20/06/2013 but otherwise identical.
As you can see the tutorial is in the background.
Ooh, very nice. I remember some complaints about the controls being unwieldy on small screens, but is there anything else I should know? I seem to remember something about IAP's. This game would hit the spot right now.
Some of the App Store reviews are freaking out about crash bugs. Curious what devices they're using...anyone had this problem?
Apparently, the devs are working on fixing the issues, the game has shrunk in size from 1.5 gb to around 600mb and they promised to make some changes... which I hope has something to do with the size screen on iPhones... I would buy it actually for 2 dollars but the game isn't reduced... yet (I hope)
Is Little Inferno worth getting?
Also, Spiral was released, I remember seeing the videos a year ago and it looked impressive, now it still looks good but the battles (around 16:00 mark) seem bit clunky.
I was astonished to see an update at all for this sublime game, never mind that is a substantial update.
Would damn near be the best monies I've spent on iOS (maybe Carcassonne pips it?)

Little Inferno is absolutely worth getting! It has a really great story and gameplay that defies genre categorization.

Wow that is bizzare but I'm glad you were able to resolve the issue. Too bad you don't like the game, I'm having a blast!

Holy shit, does Scurvy Scallywags ever end? I'm not even getting quests or verses anymore. Just island after island. And I'm only at Level 26 and noticed there's an achievement for reaching Level 50.
What's the point?

It's like the developers just forgot they made a game. Just hit lvl24 and can't bring myself to go any further.

I downloaded both. I'll play and then I'll get back to you with my impressions.
I'm playing it on a mini. It's alright. I'm sure it runs better on better processors, but I got about the performance that I was expecting.
The only thing i have trouble with the port so far is the camera when trying to look under things with roofs. You have to tap into the area to even see, but I guess that's the best they can do.

Sega is having an iOS Sonic sale right now, seems all Sonic games are $1. Android too.
I like Scalawags a lot but I agree that the game is too geared towards dying and rebuilding ad nauseam. Beating the game isn't about mastering the mechanics as much as it's about just grinding away until you've made enough money to buy and upgrade all the right skills. But most of us will lose interest long before that happens.
Both Infinity Blades lost my interest fast. They're nice visual showcases but they're as shallow as an Angry Birds game.

But the thing is I'm not even playing to get the best skills... I never get hit. I'm never in danger of losing a heart. I don't get quests anymore. I don't get verses anymore. After I beat a map, it takes me to another map with nothing but unspecial islands. There's no story. The theatre manager is gone.
I honestly have no idea what the game wants me to do right now.
Yeah, I forced myself to finish IB2 because I paid $7 for it and wanted to see if it gets any better later on. Nope. It's a very repetitive game.
