Purchased TPB COMPLETELY removed from purchase history and no longer accessible!

[♚™]

Yes while Farsight is hyping up their tournaments on their FB page their game is no longer in purchased history for redownload on Android and on the FB page people are saying the same for their PS4 DISC! That means you can NEVER play the game again even if you purchased it because isn't no longer available in your purchase history for download! I tried to redownload the game on a new tablet and it's now impossible because no history of the game exists! It's not only delisted, it's TOTALLY wiped from your purchased history! Could Steam be next?

I wonder if that's true on the Vita as well. I have the $10 version. I got it from Sony for the Sony hack, so if it's gone, it wasn't $10 of my money, but frag, I'm not buying any Sony hardware if that's how they handle delisted games from the store...

Steam usually keeps delisted games in your library, but if all your tables were purchased via farsight and not the Steam store...I dunno...

My Vita copy is intact, for how long I dunno...

The PS4 retail (disc) version is defunct? Wow, I really wasn't expecting that. This is why I'm mostly a retro gamer but even that doesn't protect me against this kind of nonsense.

I've requested refunds from Google Play since I purchased things March-May of this year, but 2 packs have already been denied. I'm not surprised. on the one hand, I have a full understanding of the fact that you are basically renting you games these days, but on the other hand this is no way to treat customers and a lot of gamers don't have this understanding when they make their "purchases." I wish legally they couldn't call it that if you don't own your games.

I just got an email back from Farsight support. They said they're working on getting it fixed with Google. I don't think they intended for it to get taken down. There was an article saying that Google would be purging old apps, so I suspect that's what happened especially since Farsight just said at the end of may they were doing a new PBA tournament on Google and PS4 versions. I suspect because of that announcement they were surprised by Sony's take down as well.

I hope they can actually get it up and running again.
