Can’t find Polytopia in App Store

Guilimao Official·6/13/2021 in Bugs and Support

I am a player from China, but I cannot find Polytopia in the App Store these days, even though I already own it.

Then I tried to log in to the App Store with an account registered in the U.S. At this time, I found Polytopia, but it was also unable to update it.

The explanation given by Apple is that Polytopia has been removed by the app developer. Is that true? Has anyone encountered a situation like this?

(“The Battle of Polytopia" is no longer available. The developer has removed this app from the App Store. Says Apple.)

I still find it in the playstore, I use the android system not apple, though. So I have another app store than you (also I'm german)

It's probably an issue with China specifically. You know how the Great Firewall is. And I don't think China is a major market for Polytopia, anyways. 真可惜。

I'll bring it up to Zoythrus, though. I hope it's not a difficult fix so it will actually be resolved.

Okay, Zoythrus said that Polytopia was likely removed from the App Store in China recently due to issues with Google and that Polytopia has never had any Chinese distributors. I don't see any way to get Polytopia on an iOS device now, but you can try getting it on Steam (it does cost money, though).

Thanks everyone. Really a sad news for me. My friends and I often play polytopia at McDonald’s to pass the time. Now there is really less fun on weekends.

What do you think?
