\"\"<\/a>Gameloft just doesn’t get it.\u00a0 They’ve tried twice this month to launch their games for Android and appear to be working backwards<\/a>.\u00a0 This time around we’ve learned that the DRM and app protection is unlike anything we’ve seen on the platform.<\/p>\n

Short version: Any games you purchase from them are good for only one install on one device.\u00a0 That’s it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Long version: Dave Loft emailed us today to let us know about his ongoing battle with the game maker.\u00a0 After running low on space with his Android phone, he uninstalled it to make room.\u00a0 Later, when trying to reload it, he ran into a bit of trouble.\u00a0 He reached out to Gameloft and received the following response:<\/p>\n

“…according to our refund policy, once the game is successfully installed, we cannot resend it for any reason, unless you buy it again. One purchase entitles you to one download of the game to one phone number and on one phone model only. If you delete or otherwise remove the game from your phone, or change your handset, you will have to buy it again.\u00a0 About updates, I\u2019m sorry, I have no information.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Our recommendation to you guys is to stay away from Gameloft until this policy changes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Might We Suggest…<\/h3>\n
