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.
It's my mobile app and their main one sucks. I'm a casual but frequent user. I'll miss it but I'll find the next thing.
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.
Yes, not everyone is going to get the news that it's turned from a loss of income into a debt due to the nature. And dare I say there may be some out there who would still consider it as "he knew what he was getting into", although I hope that's a very small percentage.
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?
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.
Ultra is the subscription one, right? I have pro and don't see the refund option - wanna make sure I opt out if I need to, but pro might have been a one off purchase?
