Attached: 1 image I just released a really important Apollo update that adds the ability for users with remaining subscription time left to decline an automatic refund. Devs pay refunds out of pocket, and this will be about $250K, so I thank you for your consideration. ❤️ Also, this update includes an amazing "Goodbye Apollo Wallpaper Set” for your phone, tablet, or desktop, created by outrageously talented Apollo icon designers. You can unlock the pack with a donation that helps with refund costs. 🙂
Damn, what a great guy. He doesn’t just make it easy to request a refund that he needs to pay from his own pocket. He actually made it opt-out. I’ve always used RiF on Android, never used Apollo. But Christian earned a lot of my respect in the last few weeks. Fuck Reddit and fuck how they screwed the people that helped them build the platform into what it is today.
opted out if mine and got the wallpapers. Incredible loss to the iOS ecosystem.
Class act.
I donated a few bucks to get the wallpapers because Christian is a boss but them all being Snoo-based I just couldn’t find my self to use them.
Same, my hope is that with people opting out and the wallpaper he shouldn’t have to pay much, if anything, out of pocket.
He is still gonna have to pay an ovscene amount of money, that app is going to put him in debt.
I think that given how forthcoming Christian’s been with this entire situation, if he were in a position where he could not feasibly put up that 250k it would be communicated. It’s no small amount of money, sure, but I think he’ll be alright. I can’t speak for anyone else, but if I was someone with an Apollo sub, I would refuse the refund without even thinking about it. Hopefully a large percentage of subscribed users agree with that sentiment, and in that case the cost should drop substantially.
I’ve bought a few indie games before that I thought were groundbreaking achievements, even though I never really played them much. Also have purchased a few licenses for apps when I only needed the one because I felt the dev wasn’t charging the full potential of the thing.
I was first gonna call him moneygrubby but man 250k. I would be sweating and crying. Imagine making an app only for it to anus you in the ass, all of the effort evaporated and swindled.
Dude is gonna have to work overtime like the dude that bricked people’s switches.

I’m curious, got any more info on this?
Why would you take this as “moneygrubby”? He made it the default to opt for the refund and just added the ability for you to chose to not request the refund as a token to his development.
I was considering staying on reddit for awhile but it’s become more and more clear that reddit don’t want us, so I’m going to migrate over here and to the other platforms. It really sucks what reddit is doing and they are just hurting themselves in the long run. I doubt reddit will just die out but I’m not going to sit back and watch one of my favorite places om the internet become even more autocratic.
It’s been a long ride but fuck it.
