Very old mobile game made by a company EA acquired
I understand my questions may not be something that anyone on the forums, whether from EA or not, is able to answer, but I don't know who or where else I could ask, and this relates to a core part of my childhood that has a lot of emotional value to me.
Before being acquired by EA, developer Glu Mobile made a game called Glyder for a very early iOS, as well as a sequel that was later ported to Android and Windows Phone. Officially, the game and its sequel no longer purchasable anywhere.
- I actually still have the app on a few iOS devices, and recently, I was even able to make in-app purchases to buy customization items, despite the app itself no longer being on the store. I was curious if the payment for those purchases would've gone to Glu Mobile/EA, gone to Apple instead, or if the money is now stuck somewhere in the middle of a transaction that can't be completed.
- Mostly out of curiosity, but also in the interest of preserving old media, I wanted to know if Glu under EA still has the files for Glyder, or if they've been completely lost.
