Gameloft Games for BB10 Came First...

[unstoppablekem]

Gameloft announced in OCTOBER that their games will come to windows phone soon. Well it isn't here. But guess what? BB10 announced their stuff in January and they already have most of them. They just got nova 3. I'm very disappointed. What is your reaction guys?

well ok than at least they are working on it

Well, hasn't it been said that BB10 is made up primarily of Android apps, so maybe it's just super-simple to get these games running on that platform, where as WP8 needs actual recoding?

They said wp8 would be easier to port than 7.5.

I was also under the assumption that it's very easy to port Android apps for BB10, this would most likely be the most logical reason, as BB doesnt even have the marketshare advantage to WP anymore, there's no real reason for them to prefer BB over WP at this point, except if one would be easier to develop for. Also, I would figure it's different teams working on the different paltforms rather than having the same people work on both at the same time, but that's just a guess.

I understand, but I'm still angry.

Not surprised. Especially considering that Microsoft have done the same to it's one mobile ecosystem before with other apps.

Well, I don't even think porting is necessary for BB10. People said a LOT of apps going to the platform are actually Android 2.3 versions of those apps, so there must be some way to get already-made Android apps running on B10, meaning even if Windows Phone 8 is easier for porting than 7.5, BB10 might not even need it.

They are, though they are there just to bolster app numbers. They in looks and usability just horrible, with many apps not having full functionality.
The app situation really is quite far away from WP.

that said it's a shame if the games really are available for BB10 and not WP.
