Maybe not - but imagine the loss in hardware sales and ecosystem revenue if everyone ported old shitty games without re-writing them, causing batteries to die quickly and a poor user experience?

It was for the better of the industry. Boo-hoo. If it took him 3 days then hes a smart fucker. As someone with plenty of OpenGL AND OpenGL ES experience, I'd say it would have taken him just has much time to port his existing code.
