@sundancer : different companies wouldn’t be an issue if GW owned the code and not just the output.
OTOH … I wouldn’t be too surprised if they did not (and all signs point to this), because that sort of thing requires them thinking long term and planning for contingencies (*).
Given that the app is not critical to the survival of GW I doubt that was done.

It sucks … and it shows.
It also means consumers have one more reason not to subscribe as the future availablity of the app is not guaranteed.

(*) even if the code isn’t “owned” by GW the use of ‘escrow’ (where the code is placed in a ‘digital vault’ ) could help, but it would require GW to understand how to check if the escrow was indeed functional …

yeah … so I had planned to do a bit of hobby.
Unfortunately got distracted by trying to finish a videogame, which meant I’ve wasted my entire weekend with games (Desperados III and ‘Rise of Tombraider’)
