Just a quick question: You say rooted/jailbroken devices are not supported, is this just "we won't help if something goes wrong" or is it a complete block on roots/jailbreaks like some apps etc have done in the past?

Thanks!

It's a 'wont help' kind of deal. Jackbox Party Pack worked before on a rooted phone, adnd I can't imagine that they would really invest resources into specifically denying access for anything like that. My best guess is that they only say that because they can only officially support the stock stuff

We dont block rooted/jailbroken devices and never will, we just cant guarantee they will work smoothly with jackbox.tv
