If you leave the EU for "too long," you won't be able to update apps installed from alternative app marketplaces.
This is not the case for the App Store. A German account can install apps and purchase content from the German App Store even if you're gone for "too long"

@mysk How do they know I left the EU? IP or location services? Maybe there is an option to use VPN or turn off one location service in privacy settings
