...Is the app trying to fuck me?

It's probably trying to get you to fuck yourself

I regularly use apps that haven't been updated for longer, and 20-year-old PC programs. The worse thing is if old versions are purposefully deprecated too early, I don't have Play Store.

This is fine for apps that don't use remote APIs and aren't actively having breaking changes made to them on a regular basis, but that doesn't apply to most of these nagging "use our app!" companies.
