Feeding the rant here: android.stackexchange.com/q/206556/3573 with my comment but perhaps there should be an post that generally covers the 'why won't xyz game work on abc phone'?

@MorrisonChang is it really a rant or just spam? the link is to the dude's own website

@DanHulme Looking at it again - you are probably right, spam. Nuke away. Curious if the mods think a general 'why won't xyz game work on abc phone'? similar to 'why can't I get updates on xyz Android phone' would be off-topic or not? (not vested either way)

I remember answering a question along those lines several years ago

it was more specific than that, but the answer does generalise
