Nope. ;-)
Well, its back yay! Just checked and all the Go games
I'd bought are now accessible: >https://www.pocketgamer.com/deus-ex-go/back-on-ios-and-android/
Yay!
I like the *Go games (Hitman, Tomb Raider, etc.). Not so much to play,
but the concept of them. They're clever, small, inventive, and perfect
for handheld 'on-the-go' gaming. I'm pretty sure that if I were more
into mobile games, they'd be some of my go-to titles.
These days, though, the only time I really spend playing games on my
phone or tablet is when I only have two or three minutes; just enough
time for a quick round of FreeCell or Sodoku, but not more than that.
If I /do/ have more time, I usually whip out a (digital) book instead.
I get enough gaming done on the PC, anyway.
(It's shitty when publisher* shenanigans** make games inaccessible to players... although I'm surprised that you lost access if you already
owned them. Do they have an online-always component?)
* Square Enix made the games, then sold the licenses to Embracer.
Embracer collapsed, games disappeared. They're back now under a new
publisher.
** I love the word shenanigans, but for all I use it, I /never/ spell
it correctly first-try. Thank god for spellcheck ;-)
