I see a lot of people complaining about not being able to use older phones for play Go. I have a Moto 6 I bought last year and a Moto 7 I bought a month ago. Both have 64-bit processors, but run a 32-bit kernel. And Niantic is telling me I can't play their game? With a brand new phone? They're nuts! And I suspect that the delay was because in the Android market, not everyone wants to spend $$$ on an expensive phone just to play a game. If Niantic would have gone through with their threat they would have effectively stated that only rich people (or people who like to throw money away) are welcome to play their game.
