If it works, why break it?

Perhaps it is a trait, buried in our genome that we become (or indeed, are) short attention span animals. Why bother about what has not eaten us, when the next sabre-tooth is padding over the ridge.
Have you ever had the problem of “upgrades” breaking the app? I have.
The latest miscreant is the Odeon app. You can do all kinds of things still with this window into the Odeon Empire (pun intended) except buy tickets. A sort of a doh! moment. Perhaps, the engineers were too busy adding tracking code or skeuomorphic features to notice the hunting mate of the sabre-tooth circling around and coming from their “6”.
Anyway, the app is no more, it has become a Norwegian Blue (that has not revived unlike the Pythons).
Perhaps too much cola has been gulped?
The only purpose of this app is missing — a bit like the Cheese Shop from Monty Python.

Addendum: ’twas not the app that was broked, but the back shop server. Now fixed.
Now why did it not report an error like the website, rather than just falling over?
