Do I need to choose different games?

One responded to this question over at amazon said that the type of games and how they
are setup can affect a controller....

Anyone that can tell me why the two game controller I've bought won't control the games I've
been downloading out of my google play file..?

Everything shows they should work...the samsung pairs with the device..lights flash
on and off on the controller, like their supposed to .... 8bitdo sf30 pro...Sent a steel series back to amazon..told
them it wasn't turnkey...had to download updates etc...never got it to work either..Both show
good bluetooth connection etc etc...Maybe a gaming site somewhere can help...I'll look..

You are using google play so I assume you are trying to play games from a Android/IOS(Bluestacks)

so you could play Play store games on a PC or a MAC inside of it. I haven't tried to game on a tablet in a while because the gamepads at the time needed be supported and their weren't many that were.

Anywho, so only thing I can think with the 8bitdo sf30 from looking it over is maybe the android setting hasn't been acknowledged properly during the connection?
