    The title made me laugh my Effing ass off, then I read the article and realised it's not an EA game

    I'm not going to feel sorry for Gameloft though as they have plenty of other games that will bleed you dry with in-app purchases.

    Can't the game be tied to the IMEI and when you launch the game, both the ingame serial no. and the IMEI gets registered on the server ?

    So basically when a developer does the right thing it's perfectly fine to pirate them for the other games. Yeah, great way of advocating non-IAP. Might as well stay with IAP to keep the pirates and their stupid justifications away.

    Don't like that as an idea because the current way that Play works (apologies to Windows/Apple users) allows me to install the one title on multiples devices I own.

    An additional official statement by the Gameloft company reinforced Weber's message "we have turned on our anti-piracy systems and now all illegitimate users on a non-official version have been incapacitated".
    illegitimate users have been "incapacitated" - how - self-destructing tech? i.e. "You are not authorised to use this app ... 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... bang!" IED as a DRM device - overkill or what?!

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...

    I don't feel sorry for any company that tries to do limited early access, special platform specific features or any other sales gimmick.

    Cut out the BS, just make a game and release it for everyone.
