But the frustrating part is, Bandai may end up sending out compensation to all individuals instead of just those on iOS who have been chiefly affected.



Part of the fun of playing a new game is the race to get ahead of the competition, especially when a global leaderboard exists. Unfortunately, things like this (unforeseen as they may be) can set a player back. But to me, even all of this is forgivable.



What's entirely too frustrating, however, is the fact that Bandai updated their game to the point that it removed a list of older generation smart phones completely from being supported by the game at all. In a sense, they raised the minimum system requirements so that where you could have used any phone from the below list before, you cannot any longer.

And while I'm all for optimizations, this is utter nonsense. In a game where someone could spend money to buy in-game products, without warning or a heads up, to find out that their phone is no longer supported and they're just out of luck? That's pretty horrible.



I cannot say that I've ever seen something like that before -- where a company makes updates to system requirements in a game where real money can be spent and completely (without any forewarning or heads up) just stops supporting devices. It is unclear if users with those phones could spend money or fully log in, but if they could, that is absolutely wild.
