The most credible in my eyes is that it's difficult on HVS's end to tell legitimate APKs vs modified ones, so whatever system they use may flag emulation as hacking. There are speculations as to why they don't allow emulation, even with official game files. Bluestacks may have an official play store, but it's still unauthorized third-party software as far as HVS is concerned.

I wish there was some more nuanced answer to this as well, but after dozens of questions about the subject over the years, it's never 'yes' or 'no', just the same "emulators are not supported by HVS". That's what reportedly happened to a friend of Keith despite playing completely legitimately, and that's the situation in which the statement from Cellsai I provided in my first reply originated. I wish a have staff opinion about this topic, lets make it clear for the community if it's allowed or not, and why.Ĭlick to expand.Unfortunately, the reality is that even running the game on an emulator when it was downloaded from the official play store can get you banned. I hope people don't let this thread dies, i know a lot of players who also plays sgm with an emulator, some of them are in love with this game but doesn't even have a phone, and nobody talks about emulators because they fear the myth of getting banned.

Here are some photos confirming the game is the same that everyone else play (via playstore, supported platform). Since we can use a cellphone/tablet, why can't we use a notebook, chromebook or desktop in order to run it?Įmulator's only job is to separate part of your system (hd, ram, cpu & gpu) and use it as it is a cellphone (android/IOS), so its basically a cellphone playing the game from playstore, which is fine!įor now i'm going to stop playing with bluestacks, but i'm very sad about it, as i already said, my cell burns when playing SGM (since a couple of patches and i don't know what exactly made it). I can't see a reason for it to be wrong, don't matter where someone plays, it's the same game (.exe) downloaded from the google play store, as everyone does.
