    Is it true, that there are games for windows 7 phones and windows 8 phones and some you can't play on one or the other?

    I would gladly buy all four, had I a Nokia phone. I would gladly buy a Nokia phone if the good one were offered on Verizon. I would gladly switch from Verizon if AT&T didn't suck balls.

    Damn you, AT&T!

    Yes, there are games on WP7 not available (compatible) with WP8 and some new WP8 titles are not backward compatible to WP7. This is why I continue to keep my old WP7 charged since The Harvest and a few other games I have aren't available on my Lumia 920.

    Additionally, there are some titles designated as "Nokia Exclusive", meaning that if you have a HTC or other OEM, other games may be blocked. They have relaxed that on some titles recently, showing that this is likely temporary as Nokia had some sort of contract with Microsoft around exclusive game releases around the WP8 launch.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Games seem to be either Nokia exclusive or making the jump to WP8. And as others have more eloquently put it, there's compatability issues up the ass, not to mention what seems like only two WP8 phones on the market in the Lumia 900 and 920.

    Unfortunately, I'm locked in with my contract until December, but that'll be an interesting switch when it happens. I really like the OS and layout of WP, but if it's going to consistently be the dark horse with few apps and gamerscore being the only reason for me to specifically get one? Screw it, I'll grab a Droid.

    People like me, who decided to support Microsoft by buying a WP on launch got fucked by MS and it SUCKS. Every game is Nokia exclusive and I refuse to buy a Nokia phone just to get some achievements. I regret that I was stupid enough to fall for the WP. Why did I buy a WP on launch? I can't get any games on it because everything is fucking Nokia exclusive.

    These threads are funny with everyone getting mad that they can't get the Nokia games. Need to put the Nokia marketplace back on my phone and buy these.
