It’s even worse on mobile as the app might forcefully update you to a new Free to Play version. I spent $8 on Galaxy On Fire 2 HD which was acquired by another company then suddenly dropped the price and added ads and in app purchases. Very frustrating.

Similar experience for me. I bought the no ads version of plants vs zombies- “no ads” was even in the title. A few years later EA changed the app name and added ads.

This is really annoying. Possibly Apple Arcade blocks from this situation?

Yes. No ads and no in-app-purchases in Apple Arcade games.

I wonder app developer could pull the app from Arcade and release "Free" version.

They can have an Apple Arcade version, and a "Free" pay-to-win version simulatenously. They don't even have to pull the Apple Arcade version.
