This has happened before with other IOS games (Monkey Island comes to mind) and is the main reason I never buy anything from the App Store. A number of titles never got updates for 64bit either (lost treasures of infocom) or when they did asked you to pay again (GoodReader 3) so I said fuck you to that whole ecosystem a long time ago.
I use my iOS devices to read books I side-load (libgen and Calibre), read comics and listen to music I download from private trackers and to browse the web.

Back before the iBooks store, some publishers made one app per book, and I bought Windows Internals that way. A little while ago, before the end of 32-bit, I wanted to read it again. But the app was barely functional, it didn't accept certain touch inputs.
