Delisted on Google Play?
Has this game been delisted on Google Play? For some reason it's not showing up there anymore for me, though it's still for sale here and on the Apple store. All other Trese Bros stuff seems to be there even the original Star Traders RPG. Is this temporary or is it gone forever there?

The decision to delist was Google's based on a number of factors. We hope to resolve this in the future but 4X Empires is an aging game, now more than a decade old, and will likely eventually be no longer for sale.

Just wanted to say I found it -legitimately on the Amazon app store that sells android apps. It's an older version (2.6.9 vs 2.6.29 on Google) but it works--even buying the DLC worked for me. So there's still an option for now if someone wants it on android.

Glad I picked it up on Steam then!

That's a shame, it was a game I kept coming back to on my tablet and phone. Is it possible to get an apk for the elite version, a refund or a steam key for the product? I had all the DLC purchased for it...

^ Same here--I had to buy it again, away from Google play.

This happened to me a few times with Android apps being removed. Shadowrun Returns was the 1st time.
Game got removed from the store and wiped from our accounts.
No refund, no compensation, just "We're keeping your money forever and removing what you paid us for."
Kind of makes you wonder who to be mad at: Google or the game's publisher (or both since both are keeping their portion of your money with no compensation.)

Almost forgot--the Amazon app store option I mentioned in a prior post is also going away permanently this August for all non-amazon android devices. So don't waste your money there a second time like I did. Counting Steam that's 3 times I bought this game....and only 1 version will still work after August.
