I have been using a companion app for the pokerole rule system (A fanmade rule system for running games in the pokemon universe) called "pokerole RPG tools" that has been incredibly helpful, but it seems to be missing from the windows 10 app store (and android store) at the moment.

The official website and forums for the rulesystem have no information on the subject, not even acknowledging that it's no longer available. Has there been an update as to why it's missing? It's been incredibly helpful for me as a GM, but I lost my installation in a PC reset.

    Welcome to site! Take the [tour]. You've my sympathy in your plight—it always sucks to lose a valuable tool. I hope that since the official Web site and the official forums were unhelpful that someone on this site can offer a reason why the application is no longer available. Thank you for participating and have fun! – Hey I Can Chan Jan 31 '19 at 23:34

    (Note that Pokerole is a real role-playing game about which the site has fielded questions. Further, note that the asker isn't interested in acquiring the application but is only wondering why the application is no longer available. Because of this, while the question is both timely and unusual, I think it remains on topic for the site. Whether or not users can answer the question is beside the point.) – Hey I Can Chan Jan 31 '19 at 23:52
  • @HeyICanChan Thanks for the comment, I concur. – KorvinStarmast Feb 01 '19 at 00:53

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is similar to design-intent questions and should be off topic for reasons similar to these. In particular, the question "why is this tool missing" isn't about the actual problem, a question like "how can I do X without this missing tool" might be more on-topic – Ruse Feb 01 '19 at 00:59

    @Ruse Vote your conscience, man, but I think it's closer to a question like this, this, and this. When something goes missing, folks want to know why, and often the site will provide. – Hey I Can Chan Feb 01 '19 at 01:12
  • @HeyICanChan those questions are indeed very similar, but they are already frased better. "What happened to X" involves less intent than "why did X go missing". But even then, the only satifying answers to those questions required the creators of those tool to personally explain what happened, which is another way in which these questions are similar to design-intent questions. And case in point, 2/3 of the accepted answers to the questions you linked were alegedly posted by people who worked on the missing tools. – Ruse Feb 01 '19 at 01:44

    @Ruse Fair enough. In addition to your close vote, I urge you to take those feelings about this to Meta and pitch to the community closing new questions like this generally. Questions like this have a longstanding history on the site. – Hey I Can Chan Feb 01 '19 at 07:42
