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. 🙂

    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.

        Gary bowser was a hacker who got arrested and was forced to pay a £1.5 million fine. He was part of a hacker group called team executioner, they made mod jailbreak chips for the switch.
        The chip also bricked your switch it if you didn’t pay them a monthly fee.

      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 thought it was similar to an ebegging move but I didn’t realise how much money the guy is gonna have to give back.

        The guy needs a way to make all of that money back and is probably going to be in debt for way too long.
