==The Escapists controversy==

Recently Team 17 purposely deleted "The Escapists" off of the ~~google play~~ store stating it was not supported by modern devices~~, a~~ game ~~that costed~~ $5.99~~, meaning if you previously purchased it you can no longer download it stating~~ "Unfortunately, this title is not updated nor supported on more recent tech", however this is not true as games delisted long ago like Flappy Bird are still downloadable from your purchase history even if you have an old Android device that should support it. The game is still fully functional if the APK file is sideloaded onto Android 12~~. The motive for removal is possibly to make the user purchase the PC or console ports of the game~~.

Recently Team 17 purposely deleted the game "The Escapists" off of the Google Play store stating that it was not supported by modern devices. The game can no longer be re-downloaded on newer devices even if it was previously bought at the game's listed price ($5.99). The stated motive was as follows: "Unfortunately, this title is not updated nor supported on more recent tech", however this is not true as games delisted long ago like Flappy Bird are still downloadable from your purchase history even if you have an old Android device that should support it. The game is still fully functional if the APK file is sideloaded onto Android 12.
