I think you are misreading it. Most android 6.0 devices will still work. It is just a select few older ones that won't. If you device isn't on the list then you are fine.

i am not missing anything, i bought a tablet last year with the sole purpose to play this one game on the 3 days a week i travel. cannot use my phone, cannot use bluestack which i use at home. giving someone 5 days notice that the purchases they made 6 hours ago will be worthless is nothing more than 'theft by deception', which is a crime up to a first degree felony.

What tablet? I find it hard to believe you bought a tablet last year that is on that list.

If you made a purchase 6 hours ago you can contact Google support or the apple pay support team and ask for a refund. Will be granted based on the evidence from today. Not really theft to update technology though, just bad timing tbh. Sucks, but there is an easy work around for it.

Wow this completely figures from CG, way to screw us yet again! Piggybacking off a prior statement, not everyone has the money for new phones, unless your the top 1% in this game who've spent 10k on this game, just more pandering to them! I still have my Samsung Galaxy S4, Leapdroid, a Google Chromebook(NEW -NOT SUPPORTED!!!!!!) so let me guess I will have zero access. How about buying US new phones are continue to code for the support!

How did they deceive you?

Yup, I've had my S4 through the Navy when I first got it, through driving with UPS and through school working on cars. Took a beating and still going! What do I need to replace it for? So I can take stupid pics with dog ears, and a nose on me! Don't think so. I'd rather hear them say "we are to lazy to do the coding" then to just say we aren't offering support anymore! Of course all that you can't update stuff is pointless because you can get the .apk file elsewhere, it's the principal!

To be fair though, Android 4.4 and 5.x are like 5+ years old and not much newer software supports these versions anymore you can pick up a more up to date version of Android on a phone or tablet for less than $200 (or just run it on a Android emulator). It won't just be an OS issue, there will be a hardware capability issue as well

This is different issue to the iPhone 6 where at least you can upgrade to iOS 12

The problem the iPhone have is then a hardware issue, where newer ios releases might not enable some features as the older hardware does not support.

i don't know of any apps that do not run on my nephews android 4.4, that seems to be the gold standard. no way is this fair, if they were going to raise the requirements this should have notified us when they decided to do so, which is long ago in the development stage.

Prestige ELITE 8Qi. they are still avail on amazon today. if you are going to buy a tablet just to play a game when you are not home why buy a new one unless the game makers tell you you will need a newer model soon? i would bet this has been in development since before i even bought the tablet. no offense but its rather disappointing the trolls on these forums like to jump on players for expressing their opinions and challenging their merits.

You don’t know how long it’s been in development, players defending the game aren’t “trolls” (that’s just a cheap shot), and you’re claim that they “deceived” you has no warrant.

You are not defending the game, you are trolling this player who is rightfully distraught. While i am not legal expert i see his point. They were selling game items to players they knew would not be able to use that item or even play the game a week in the future. That is certainly deception.

Oh in know, I use it for movies in the gym, music, everything, so if still viable it should still be supported IMO

The S4 is still supported.

Wohoo, that's excellent news!

The reality is the only issue I have with this is the 5 days notice period. I am sure this has been in development consideration for a while, even if the final call was only made in the past few days. It would have been better for them to have given a warning that at some point this year a obsolescence plan would kick in
