If you still haven't played it, check out Riven which was recently released. It's a complete modern remake (plus some changes) of the sequel to Myst.

There are plenty of small indie studios that won't sell out, we just don't know who they are.

Palworld still ended up costing millions of dollars, although not tens of millions.

If I pay to remove ads now, is the lifetime ultra cost discounted? in c/syncforlemmy
[–] Leuthil 2 points 1 year ago

Ah I'm talking about APIs to more conveniently view the media (i.e. it doesn't open up imgur.com in a browser). AFAIK it costs money to use that API now so I don't think any free app without ads can provide that unless I'm mistaken.

I think the dev pays for Imgur and other media hosting site APIs so that is also a factor. No other app displays media as integrated as Sync.

Request to create a 2nd paid only version of the app in c/syncforlemmy

This goes way back to when Google first introduced IAP. They were pushing to remove dupes from the store because it caused separate reviews and ratings. It could be that they just temporarily enforced it and now it's not a concern for them anymore.

I remember when this happened to Sync for Reddit. Unfortunately Google Play Store, like most of these app stores, can enforce almost anything they want even if it's outside of their policy because some stuff is so vague. And it's usually hard to get clear information from anyone when your app gets pulled or whatever.
