    Developer was provided proof of purchase, and there was no rebuilding required. You think devs individually build and hardcore individual APKs per license and account? LOL. Play Store acts as a gatekeeper of APKs for apps, and if the account holder has paid for the license, Google allows an authorised download of the APK for paid app binary. This paid app binary can even be duplicated and pirated to other phones if wanted (which I never do) and it runs exactly 1:1, with the exception of apps that verify license via internet connection (Drastic DS, which I also paid for…)

    Dev said no to a proof of purchase AND chose to ban me over it. The latter part is why I am pissed. Its not that the license carries, thats just his gratefulness (or lack of it) he would be free to engage in. I am not a loyal bootlicker.

      Try that with any other software.

      Tell EA you want to move your games from origin to steam.

      Tell steam you want to move your games from steam to gog.

      Tell gog you want to move your games to steam.

      All of them will laugh at you.

        Are you unhinged or delusional? APKs are deployable installation binaries. I am not moving licenses around. There are no different “platforms” involved. This is not Android to iOS, or Steam to Epic/Ubisoft. Your analogy is absolute pure trash.

        The fact that you bring up “try with other software” is also the most dumb argument I have ever heard, and one that tells you are the one who has never purchased software and/or never dealt with professional company software support. Any sizeable and respected developer is reasonable to understand how system requirements work, and is not banning people for such a request.

        If you are a Sync fanboy, go pay Laurence a thousand dollaridoos to piss me off. But stop acting lame.

          You’re a troll. Gimme a second while I find the block user button in Sync.

          Which I’m not a fanboy of, btw, I’m waiting for Boost.

          Oh there it is! See you never!
