【Watch Dark Fantasies (2010)】

Startup founders,Watch Dark Fantasies (2010) they're just like us.

HQ — the popular trivia app that almost gave away $25,000 to one lucky winner on Sunday — has been pulled from the App Store due to one tiny, but important mistake. The person behind the company's iTunes developer account forgot to update an expired credit card.

We were alerted to HQ's absence from the App Store by Adam Blacker, communications lead at Apptopia. After looking through the App Store rankings this morning, as part of his work routine, he did not see HQ. We checked and found when you search for "hq" only other trivia games appear:

Turns out the reason wasn't because HQ has collapsed, but rather because it was no longer available.

We reached out to HQ's team on Monday and were assured that it was a technicality and everything would be back up momentarily.

Haven't we all forgotten when an ID or a credit card expires? I definitely have. We'd hope that a service like iTunes would alert users to that, and it does. But who hasn'talso missed an important email?

For what it's worth, HQ trivia is still attracting millions of users per game. Sunday night's pot of $25,000 attracted 1.8 million people by the first question.
