Sideloading gameloft games?

[Haiimjim]

If I purchase a game from gameloft and sideload it to my motorola atrix will it work?

it should as long as you get the .apk file?

I tried to buy games from gameloft but it detects my device and ofers me only 6 games three of which i already purchased. But if you go to their site from pc they ask to enter a phone number and a carrier and ATT is not even in the list.. that sucks right????? I know.....

When I first navigated to thier site I couldnt get the games for the Atrix. Somehow I landed on this page:

Top Android Games in HD - Download Games for Android Now | Gameloft

From here, you can select the Atrix as your device and purchase. The link will be emailed to you, just save the game to your computer and use the sideload wonder machine. Got Lets Golf 2 yesterday without issue.

On a related note, why the heck does Gameloft make it so difficult for android users to buy thier games? Is this some new business model?
