MODS PLEASE READ OVER ENTIRE POST. First off let me start off by saying I'm strictly against piracy. With that said there should be protection for both the Developers and Customers from bring stiffed. I purchased Pinball HD for Tegra a couple months ago. It downloaded and installed perfectly fine on my Vibrant and ran with Chainfire 3d. Now since Google apparently gave the Dev's the ability to choose which devices are allowed to download it won't show up in the Market. I've contacted google concerning it and they told me to contact gameprom, in which I did. Gameprom basically told me they won't help me because I have a Vibrant. I don't feel it's right to not be able to enjoy/utilize something I've purchased. I have my google order receipt to show proof...so my question is if Someone who has the app can be kind enough to p.m. me. I'll attach my google order receipt if someone wants to see it. Please help I love that game.

Just search on google. Grey market apks aren't hard to find.
Theres also a cracked version of Pinball HD for tegra that will run without chainfire.
Its the only tegra game I've seen with such a crack.
Yeah, the Pinball THD has been cracked to Pinball HD. Same goes to T-Racer THD > T-Racer HD. From my perspective, it isn't wrong to play the same game that you've paid for. It can be viewed like this - you own the software, but then you "mod" it a little to be played on another device of yours. Piracy occurs if one didn't buy the game, but the one have and distribute it to others.
I fell in the same boat, and when I basically got the same response from them, I just used my 4shared app from the market to download the apk that I've already paid for. I definitely won't be buying any of their Apps till they change their bullshyt policy.

I, like many a XDA member, switch phones pretty often. This year I have been through a Nexus One, Samsung Vibrant, G2, and tomorrow I am ordering a MyTouch 4G. I have purchased 3 games from Gameloft. I have Sandstorm HD, Let's Golf, and Dungeon Hunter.
I bought Sandstorm on my Vibrant, and the other two on the G2. I was hoping to get all three games on my NEW SHINY MyTouch 4G. According to Gameloft though, the games only work on the device that you purchased the game for.
Now is it just me or does this sound like total BS? I mean why is it that every other app developer that dev's for Android can let you re-install purchased apps when you switch phones, but GameLoft can't. Is that F*%#@!$ ridiculous or what?
I mean I can see if I was to switch from android to iPhone, or WP7, but we are talking about a switch from one device to another. I am pretty sure they don't reprogram each game for each android device. I really love gameloft games but this is basically a deal breaker for me. If they don't give me all of my games on my new device, I am through buying games from them. I buy a lot of apps. I would guess that buy at least one per week.
Anybody else think this policy is BS and just a ploy to make extra cash?
Love it
I love Gamelofts Policy +1 for Gameloft WIN!
I find their policy absurd. That is why they will never have me as a customer until they quit being draconian and greedy. I think if they want to compete with the rest of the dev world for android they need to learn to play nicely in android playgrounds. If not they will not be around except for the people who think their policy is awesome. I feel really sorry for the ones who are not rooted who cant backup their gameloft games so they can play them on their new or replaced android phone.
-1000000000 for gameloft and their poor customer tatics.....
FAIL!

Lies, Spend more money make them richer so they can invest in R&D for better Games.
You know what?
I would also appreciate cross-platform support..
E.g. you pay for the full version of "Documents To Go" on your Iphone.. you still have to buy another Licence for Android to use it to the max there..
That's something I would like to see them reconsidering..
But of course switching devices with the same OS should be out of question..
I support pirating Gameloft (after buying first copy).
Policies like this are the reason they aren't selling as well as on the friggin Apple Store.
Dude, I just discovered this policy today which led me to this thread. I'm pissed cuz I just got a new G2 and the two games (MC2 Black Pegasus and Asphalt) can't be redownloaded on my new G2. This is just ****ing ridiculous. I paid nearly 5 bucks for those games. **** that. They lost me as a customer. NEVER AGAIN. They can bet I won't be downloading their games (officially) ever again. Bull****....
their games are the only ones that I don't buy.
1. greedy [email protected]!
2. their games won't work sometimes

I have recently become aware of this and it is a disgrace. They should put their stuff in the Market and all this goes away. I am currently in negotiations with their "support" people to see if anything can be done. I am not hopeful.
Is there a way of flagging this stuff with Google perhaps? Certainly, I would not buy anything from outside the Market and nothing from Gameloft again without properly checking these restrictions.
Supposedly, their policy has been changed according to Android Police. I haven't seen anything on their site that says so and actually attempting to download games fails for my new phone. Put in a support request, will see what happens.
29-12-10 Edit: And they've been pulled, nothing to see here so just move along.
So I got Dungeon Hunter HD a few weeks ago when Gameloft was offering it for free on their website. Imagine my surprise today when I synced my Appbrain account and it showed that there was an update available for Dungeon Hunter HD on the Android Market! Did Gameloft finally cave and put their content onto the market?!
No such chance unfortunately...I clicked through to the market to find that the "game" was being offered by a dev called DavinciDevelopers who had the cheek to list gameloft.com as their official website.
Looking through their other apps, they also listed Avatar HD, Hero of Sparta HD and Spider Man. "Avatar HD" wants permissions to send, receive, edit and read SMS messages and "Spider Man" requests loads of bluetooth and wifi permissions.
Don't get conned by these scammers!
Unfortunately, I can't post links as a new member but the curious can find these apps by searching on Appbrain.
Edit: I have flagged these apps as inappropriate and would appreciate it if others did so too so they get pulled off the Market.
I despise Gameloft for not releasing their games in the Market.
If they did, I would actually start buying their games.
Go buy Dungeon Defenders in the Market, a much better game running the Unreal Engine made by developers that understand.
Agree
/10char
The fact is that this is just giving Gameloft another reason to shun the Market. Letting DavinciDevelopers be will only give them more of a chance to scam unwitting buyers who keep trying to get the game to work until the new 15 minute refund window is up.

Be careful when purchasing from Gameloft, save your .apk files. If you decide to install another rom or change phones in the future, they do not allow you to download the file again without having to purchase it again.

True definitely save the Apk.
from the Gameloft website
I deleted my game, can I download it again?
Gameloft's policy is that if you buy a game, you can re-download it on the same device with the same phone number within the 90 days of your purchase. To re-download your game, go to http://gameloft.com on your mobile and click on the 'My Downloads' link at the bottom of the page. You will see the list of all the games you purchased so far that you can re-download. If you purchased your game on our website on your pc using your credit card, enter the 'My Account' section at the top of this page and re-download your game(s) after signing in.
Keep in mind you will be charged for any data fees your carrier may charge for downloading your games.

Since this is already a thready about gaming.. Other than Emulators does anyone know of any games that support keyboard commands or bluetooth game controllers?
I figure at least with keyboard commands you could map it to the controller.
it would be great to to just need a micro HDMI and bluetooth controller to play games on any TV with an HDMI input.
I'm waiting for the datel Wii retro wireless controller to show up in the mail. Its cheap,has bluetooth built in so I wont need a nunchuck, & used the BlueputDroid app.

the title says free OR site.
only one person as far as I see has posted a link to a site that is "free" every other place talked about here is a legit pay site and no one has asked for any "free" or Pirate sites
the legit sites listed so far are
https://market.android.com/
https://market.android.com/details?...nvidia&utm_medium=site&utm_campaign=tegrazone
http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011
and the 2 that don't offer free trials
http://www.eamobile.com/android
http://www.gameloft.com/download-games/android-games/
this is the Datel I am waiting on, I like that it doesnt need the nunchuck like the factory wii controller
this is where I ordered from
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Retro-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo/dp/B001ULJGDU
for those interested DONT buy this from Ioffer.com they sent me an Email telling me the seller I was about to buy from was a scammer.

That is not true. I bought Nova and Gangstar back when the EVO came out last year and I just re-downloaded both of those games from gameloft's site. When it asks you what device you're using you just need to select whatever device you purchased it on at the time. Also saving your apk won't do you much good because when I tried installing my saved apk on my G2X, when it got to the in-game download it would not allow it. I had to re-download the apk from their site. SN: re-downloading Nova worked whereas re-downloading Gangstar worked, but the game didn't run correctly (had a lot of white squares everywhere).
Title says it all. Wifi download only. I know this isn't a general topics but i would really appreciate it if the mods left this in the general section for today only. I really would hate for someone to miss out for not looking in the theme and app section.

Can a nice US citizen post the game for the rest of the forgoten world? That would make us a little less mad at amazon for not working anywhere else.
74 MB though? Really? Thank God for App to SD.
al3xxx92, PM me. It's only free today from Amazon, so posting the game would be considered warez.

The daily free apps that get downloaded from the Amazon appstore will only work if you are logged into the Amazon appstore app on your phone. If the app doesn't work on you phone because you're outside of the US, I don't think you'd be able to get one of their free apps to work. Sorry, man. :'(
I think it's funny it says it is too big to download over a cellular network, with 4gLTE, nothing is too big.
(that's what she said)
The wifi restriction stinks. Will have to wait until I get home to download.
Saw this one droid-life this morning and got it, great game. I've been playing for around an hour but it's almost time to go to work...
Downloaded it. Glad it finally game to Android, it's an awesome game.
My install of CM7 doesn't have wifi working, so I "bought it" but haven't downloaded it yet.
I am on a fascinate which in theory should be able to run this game but every time I open it just black screens and sends me back to the home screen

Excellent game, downloaded it on my CM7 today!
I was wondering if you guys have been able to find any good games cracked to work with the Atrix 2? Like in the market and stuff and even Gameloft, there are very few games that are compatible. Have you guys found any good games like good 3d games that work (like nova 2 but i already have that).
We don't support the use of cracked software here on xda. Take your illegal activities elsewhere.

Frankly, if you have every intention of buying the full version with update support, etc... once it's available for our phone, I don't see the issue.
That said, I'm unaware of games cracked to be supported for us. Game devs kinda suck a bit really, we still don't have either NFS game working...
oh wow didn't know that people will look for cracked games this is an android phone not iphone ^_^v you can find a lot of free games that will kill time. My favorites are samurai, destinia and drag racing.
I understand you're asking for games cracked to work on your device, not specifically "cracked" to avoid paying for them, but I'm afraid we can't allow anyone to discuss or post links to any kind of cracked software.
