Other iOS versions gone from App Store

Why have other iOS versions (previous years) been removed from the App Store?

They're being updated with new app icons. Will be back in 10-12 months when the new icons are ready.

We removed them because we didn't see the point in selling old versions. We want the focus to be on the latest game. We did the same thing with OOTP in Steam and the Mac App Store, although you can still get older versions of OOTP from us.

Do you really think that's fair for people that have purchased them but have not purchased the updated version? If they ever have to reset their device they can't download it anymore thus forcing them to buy the new version when they may not want to.

They don't have to. They can go to download history and redownload it from there
