    I’m confused.

    Were you not aware that almost every app on the play store is a limited licence? Like, you can’t move over to Windows and expect the license to carry over by default. You don’t pay for an app on Google’s store and automatically get it on iOS as well.

    What you wanted would have required rebuilding the app to not use play services to verify that it was paid for. While it would be nice if a developer does that, exhibition expecting it to be the default approaches absurdity when it is most definitely not the norm.

    You making the decision to degoogle is great, but that’s your choice. Expecting a developer to bend over backwards and rewrite part of their app for that is just silly. It’s fine to ask, nothing wrong there, but calling someone greedy because they said no? That’s not cool at all.

        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.
