    I tried to install an old version of San Andreas recently on my phone cause the last update broke controller support (which I actually bought with money).

    Apparently we don’t own our Android OBB directories anymore because of “safety”.

    So far the “we Android users already have this”…

      Yep, it’s unfortunate that manufacturers are taking more and more control away from users. That’s why open-source software like Linux is so important, you can do anything you want to with it.

        Yeah Android is Linux. But Manufactures are limiting it so hard that it is sometimes nearly impossible to get a custom ROM on the phone.

          Yeah but unfortunately with Android it’s what Google wants and not what the end-user wants. That’s why Linux itself is very important, the user gets to decide what they want to do with it.
