Well said Zach, although I'm not a huge mobile gamer, it is a terrible excuse. Furthermore it isn't like these games are high priced pieces of software that are in super high demand. I mean i like the ability to have a cool game with nice graphics over the regular sudoku or othello clone on cellphones, but games that are a mere 8-10 bucks a pop, i think nokia can let us port them over. Otherwise it just feels like we are getting nickle and dimed. Or at least give us the option to buy a slightly more expensive version of the game that lets us port them from handset to handset without having to buy it over and over again via a special license (jivetalk from beejive for Blackberries comes to mind as software with that kind of selling model -- Buy a regular licence for 15 bucks, good for those who stick out their device for two years, or for 30 dollars, move it as many times as you like to new blackberry devices). While i'd rather not see a 2x price increase for the special license, it would certainly be a way to let people keep porting them over if they are worried about piracy, and (god willing) i might land a few more bucks in the dev's hands (as naive as that sounds).
