Re: Angry Birds Levelpack back in OVI-Store (Edit: and now not, again...)

Miika, is it possible to sell the extra level without going thru Ovi?
I mean, have your own verification process and then email out the level or link for download?

Like Nokia E71 has Joikuspot that doesn't need to go thru ovi?

Yes, it is possible to sell content directly without Ovi. However, we are in the business of making games, not e-stores, so unfortunately we don't have the necessary resources for setting up our own store, especially if it's going to be only temporary.

Well, I might know something. :)

The only reason why N900 version of Angry Birds is lagging behind iPhone is that Ovi Store is not yet open for paid N900 content. When the store opens we will bring updated iPhone content also to N900.

Any updates on when the N900 Ovistore will come around?

I mean,.. what has it been now? 6 or 7 months since most people got their N900s and we still dont really have an official working "store"... I really want to support this device and all involved, but we gotta admit, this is kinda ridiculous.

god bless the maemo community for all their cool and free apps for this device, and for developing solutions for so many of the simple shortcomings most people were concerned with. And thanks Miika for supporting those who figured out how to make custom levels for the game while we all wait. The people here are whats keeping this device alive.

You are ingrateful you know that? Why do you think Angry Birds was released free (at least the first levels) for the Nokia N900? Do you think that rovio decided to go into charity? No. Nokia paid some royalities so that you could get Angry Birds. Don't complain. Be happy with what you have. Even if OVI store was fully functional, Rovio would still develop for the iPhone first due to the number of users.

Anyways I just got three stars on all levels yesterday :D
