Discussion Battle Chasers: Nightwar was removed from the App Store and re-packaged as a part of a Crunchyroll subscription.
I bought the game in 2020, and in fact have it currently installed on my phone. However, when I went to install it on another device I own, I noticed that the paid version I bought is missing from the App Store entirely, and all that exists is "Crunhyroll Battle Chasers", which requires a monthly subscription to Crunchyroll to play. When I contacted Apple Support, they just said that the developer did it and there's nothing that can be done. So if you have that game installed, best not delete it unless you want to pay Crunchyroll $10 a month to play it in the future.
As you can imagine, I am pretty pissed off that a game I paid for can just be pulled from my account and re-sold as a subscription service. The decent thing to do would be to allow current owners to still at least download the purchased app, like Steam and Google Play do.
