1917. Not just a great war movie, but also a cinematic masterpiece.

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to become Nintendo.

It might be the kind of thing that works sometimes in some situations, but isn’t officially supported.

Either way, it used to work for my ShieldTV Pro, but it doesn’t work anymore. Doesn’t matter how many devices I try to spoof, or how many times I reinstall the app, or how many times I re-login, etc.

Makes me really sad that I formatted the Shield TV. Oh well.

Aurora stores GitHub page states under the Limitation section that it is not able to install, or update paid apps.

A couple years ago, I used Aurora to install paid games on my Shield TV. Games that Google Play doesn’t normally allow on the Shield (like the PS2 era GTA games). Well Google changed something, and it’s no longer possible to download and install purchased apps or games through Aurora, even if you log into your Google account. This sucks, because I formatted my Shield TV expecting be able to reinstall these games, but it doesn’t work anymore.

Yeah, Aurora is still good, but Google has been crippling it.

Does this mean Aurorastore will be useful again?

Same. My wife has service, but I do not.

The Wii store remains my go-to example when talking to people who actually believe they own their digital purchases.

Like, Nah fam.
