Developer Removes N64oid from Android Market Due to Complaints
I hope you weren’t planning on buying N64oid anytime soon because you may have just lost your change for a while. Yongzh – the developer – has decided to unpublish the application from the Android market. The reason cited seems to be market commenters’ issues that are simply out of his control for the time being. Instead of continuing to be heckled to issue a fix, he’s instead decided to take the application off the market completely.
I’m not exactly sure he handled it the correct way considering there are paying customers who won’t be able to access the application should it ever end up uninstalled, but you should take solace in knowing that it’ll be back up in 2-3 months. (Yes, we know it’s a long wait.) You can thank folks not knowing what goes into emulation for that.
Especially for 3D games, it’s impossible to accurately emulate EVERY SINGLE GAME for the Nintendo 64 on a large variety of devices. And those who understand that unfortunately won’t get the more frequent updates they’ve paid for. It’s a shame, but if that’s what must be done… [Android Forums via Droid Gamers]
PS: No, you won’t have to pay for the update a few months from now if you’ve already paid for the app. It’s likely the developer has just changed visibility of the app and not deleted it altogether.
