  • Defunct Online Video Games: All of the Asphalt games before Asphalt 8 have been delisted for various reasons from Gameloft not bothering to update the game for newer mobile OS versions (which doesn't have good backwards compatibility) to expiring car licenses. Several games that came after like Asphalt Overdrive and Asphalt Extreme suffered the same fate as well, though the latter has been republished by Netflix without the in app purchases, but requiring active subscription to be played.
  • No Port For You: Subverted with Injection, as while there was indeed an Android port of the game, it is however exclusive to the Lenovo K860 smartphone.
  • Port Overdosed: Barring conversions to numerous Java ME cellphones (which is no small feat to cover, as you're dealing with dozens if not hundreds of different cellular platforms and screen resolutions, which calls for redrawing assets and/or simplifying gameplay to fit within the restricted confines of a low-end device), the Asphalt series has seen releases on a number of portable consoles, home computers and smartphone platforms.
  • Screwed by the Lawyers: Asphalt 8 used to have Toyota and Scion vehicles available for use, but by the update that added motorbikes they had been forcibly removed by Toyota's request and are no longer obtainable (though anybody who has them may still continue to use them).
