Apple Removes 'Texas Hold'em', its Only iOS Game, from App Store

I like Ace Casino even though i've figured out everything other than Hold 'em is rigged especially blackjack but that's another story. This game never really gave me that "poker" feel. Everything seemed to be just movements and player moves weren't justified or have any real decision making. Decent game when I first bought it but eventually fell outta love quickly.

You likely won't get a refund. Especially if you bought it back when it first released.

The TC says all sales are final. It also says that apps could be removed from the store for a number of reasons including the developer wants it removed. It doesn't stop working if it is removed from the store after all. Also the version of iOS it was made for is rather clear from the last update date, the requirements etc so it is isn't working so awesome you should have been able to guess that could happen from the last update being 3 years ago.

Basically you have zero grounds to demand a refund, you won't likely get one and they will probably politely say no and suggest you read the TC you agreed to when you created your account and many times since then. Yeah yeah you didn't bother reading it any of those times. You still agreed to follow them.

You called it!

I understand you are concerned about "Texas Hold'em Live " being removed from the App Store. I regret for the inconvenience caused. I can surely provide you the information regarding this.

Andrew, this application could have been removed by Apple or the developer for many reasons. You may want to follow up with the developer via their website or email address for further information as to why their application is no longer offered.

Your request for a refund for "Texas Hold'em Live" was carefully considered; however, according to the iTunes Store Terms of Sale, all purchases made on the iTunes Store are final. This policy matches Apple's refund policies and provides protection for copyrighted materials.

It's a pity, but I can live with it. As has been observed the app was hardly updated over the years. It was really meant to show developers what could be done on the platform. But now the developer community is doing find tihout being pushed along by Apple. At every iPhone event recently there've been big game companies and other developers who come along and proudly demo their products. They lve the publicity. Which is great for Apple because they get a roaring trade through the App Store. :)

It was removed because the character "Desperado" was clearly the late Steve Jobs.
