[offtopic] Stupid answers

Just wanted to share it, because it's both, hilarious and aggravating.

When trying to download a specific game from Google's Play Store, Google claimed "your device is not compatible". I couldn't believe it and asked the developers of the game. I spare you the details of the emails. It all boils down to this:

My phone's specs
4 GB RAM, 64-bit, ARMv8.2-A, Android 10, 40 GB free storage

The game's minimum requirements
3 GB RAM, 64-bit, ARMv8, Android 7, 10 GB free storage

So the answer to my question, why I can't access the game, is, "beacuse you meet the requirements". It's moments like these, where I doubt the general intelligence of human kind.

I share your pain, sometimes I get the same thing, even though my phone meets the minimum requirements :evil:

I have a couple of android tablets for my grandsons to use when they visit and this occasionally happens.

My suspicion is that some devs are using a faulty or out of date library to check system specs. Or maybe they aren’t using the library correctly. It’s annoying for sure and they get very disappointed.

In those days, "plug'n play" devices and USB connectors were yet very rare in some countries, the only solution was to reboot.

All my fears in one :D .It's sad using a lot of data bundles the find an application is not compatible.Devs should find a way to check first the specs before installing.
