Ending Support for Android 4.2 and 4.3

Starting with Update 7.6, World of Tanks Blitz will no longer support the game on devices with Android 4.2 and 4.3. These versions of the operating system are very outdated, and supporting them hinders further development of the game.

If your device supports Android 4.4 or higher, please update it so you can continue playing.

The last of those two had a release date of 2013.

 

So, we're really talking old and lower end devices. Some maybe on sale as cheap basic phones these days, but one can't expect to play complex games on that these days. 

 

At some point, for a game to move forward in a competitive market developers: 

- have to include more features than old(er) devices can handle

- have to simplify development in terms of backwards compatibility with old devices and operating systems

Yikes people using those versions to play haven't had security for years. Hope they weren't running with any real money accounts.

 

Makes me nostalgic for when Android used to have good names though.
