I forgot to mention it in my previous comment but because I don't own the crew, the only option available for me in my country, is to spread it on social media. I'm also going to add that link to my post because I just realized that I probably should.

That's the "movement" that I was referring to in my post.

I mean, if that was the case, why didn't they mention that anywhere and wouldn't their website also be shut down as well?

But the thing is that, even with apps that haven't updated in years, I can usually download them from my library. But in the case of DreamSky, every app they ever released is completely missing from my library, they're even missing from my purchasing history.

I know I can do that, but that's not the problem here. I've seen developers remove old games before but I've never seen an entire developer completely disappear.

Also, I've had no problem in the past with downloading old apps from the Google Play Store. For example, about a month ago, I downloaded a game that was last updated in 2016. The Google Play Store usually allows you to download old apps from your library, but as I stated in my post, their apps are completely missing from my library.

Doesn't this violate HIPAA, or does HIPAA not cover this?

I'm a bit confused as to how this could be an alternative to social media. The only things I've known RSS feeds to be used for are keeping up with subscriptions on platforms like YouTube and Odysee or updates for games like RuneScape.

Also, I just want to say that the last time I heard someone use the term "vcard", it meant something completely different and I was confused at first.

So I just read the article and I was right and I'll be editing my comment to reflect that.

Also, I did just re look at the tweets, they weren't calling for the mass genocide of gay people, they were calling for the mass genocide of jewish people. The problem was that the tweet was linked with another tweet where they used the F-slur, so I forgot they said "jews" and not the F-slur. I'm going to have fix that too.

Just out of curiosity, have you even seen any of the tweets that I'm referring too?

While I have no problem with what Sweet Baby Inc does, I hate that all of the articles defending them (like this one) refuse to acknowledge a lot of the reasons why they are getting backlash. Like all of the tweets from SBI employees that either use racist/anti-LGBT slurs or advocate for the mass genocide of Jewish people or the fact that this whole thing started because SBI started a harassment campaign towards the creator of a steam group despite not having any information that actually proved that the group was in the wrong and also ignoring the fact that the group was created by someone from Brazil and claiming that the group was created by right-winged conspiracy theorists.

I don't know if you are looking for anything specific but here is a list of some of the games that I would recommend trying:

The Harry Potter games, the PS2 version of these games seem to be heavily inspired by the N64 era Zelda games as they have a lot of similarities. Chamber of Secrets is, at least in my opinion, the best of the three but the other two games are still worth checking out. Also, something interesting to note is that, unlike how games for these systems normally are, the PS2 versions of these games are technically better than both the GameCube and Xbox versions due to porting issues and some other poor design choices.

The Sly cooper games, these games, especially 2 and 3, are speculated to be direct inspiration for the Assassin's Creed games. Some say that Sly 2 is the best, while others say that 3 was the best, but I don't know which one I prefer.

Monster house, I know that this is a bit of a weird one to mention, but it was a really good game. The game is similar to Resident Evil 4 in both gameplay and atmosphere. It's one of the rare examples of a movie licensed game that was actually good.

Pac-Man World 2 and 3, both which are action platformers. I personally prefer 3 but 2 had a better soundtrack (I don't know why they put that much effort in the OST of a Pac-Man game).

While I have no interest in using a service like this, I understand why they are doing this. I would imagine that a service like this probably costs a lot to run and it looks like they are adding them in a sensible way. It's not like how a lot of mobile games are where the game just randomly stops in the middle of game-play to show you an ad.
