Took me a minute but I found it https://archive.org/download/iklassika_archive/AzureSagaPath...
Probably requires a jailbroken ipad? I'll take it as a lesson to not even look at games on iOS [1]. I added it to my wish list on Steam, i might get it on a sale. [1] Not that iOS has many games. I can't afford the free ones.
No jailbreak required, just sideload it with a tool like Sideloadly. There are plenty of games, but it's understandable if you don't want to support Apple's practices.

#114I wonder if U2, or Bono, has taken a significant stake in Headspace recently (kidding).
It was so fucking funny. I wonder what the engineer thought, who had to issue the SQL query which added Bono to literally everyone's collection. Like, I'm not surprised that management was so out of touch, but I'd expect the engineers to have a bit of common sense...
What he was going to do, ignore management ? There is always someone else clueless or not caring enough to do it

It's not good four my blood pressure to be reminded of that sanctimonious tax-dodging hypocrite.

#116Does it happen when WiFi and mobile data are disabled? Try disabling them an hour or so before 1pm EST.
If it still appears then it was never removed in the first place, which is a very different bug to it installing itself.

#118Here's a Reddit thread of other people experiencing the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/1su82sc/headspace_app_...
This is fascinating. I am very curious to find out what the actual cause of this turns out to be.
It downloaded itself on my phone as well. I thought it was some quirk with the Apple Watch sync because I used to have headspace installed at some point and that automatically shows up on the Apple Watch but deleting an app on the iPhone doesn’t always delete the corresponding Apple Watch app. So if you open headspace on the Apple Watch I assumed it redownloaded itself on the iPhone.

#119Same here. I had installed Headspace long ago and deleted it. It's now reappearing if I delete it.

And do what? Quit and have someone else execute the query for something that’s in the grand scheme of things irrelevant?
