When I first got my iphone I purchased a game called Orbital, this was around the time the ipad 3 came out with its new "retina" screen.

My buying habits very quickly changed once I realized that mobile "games" meant forcing things to take so many real-time hours that you had to spend money to make it reasonable.

So I don't purchase many apps anyways, but the thing that got me is that fast forward some years and I realized one day that the app store no longer believes I own the game, despite the fact that you can still download and purchase it TODAY.

My solution to this problem is that I don't purchase apps and I very rarely install them. On this phone I have bejeweled and wordscapes and duo for 2FA to my work VPN.
