Until it's native, ongoing support and/or ongoing sales via the OVI store, it's grim. Hoping that folks will continue to support a community project when even Nokia doesn't support the phone or OS in question is pretty damn much a deadend no matter how nice of a term you wish to use.

Yes, Android/iPhone experience might be better(i don't agree since playing games with a keyboard or a keypad is the only way to play games for me).
I never said better. I said only negative about the lack of native N900 games - or the fact that stuff like Preenv that might work now still requires users to "find" the games somehow, somewhere outside of the attached OVI store to the N900.

Yes, it might be more difficult to get access to a big portion of the N900 gaming experience when compared to Apple/Android universal app store but lets face it, as phones get more advanced, so do their users.
What if a Preenv game supports or requires multi-touch? Or better yet, what if you actually want to support Gameloft with a purchase - there's at least one member here that works for Gameloft.

Explain to him how that kind of gaming supports his livelihood. I'd like to see that.

The N900 is quite good for my gaming needs and I have a long history of gaming - from attending Quake1/3 tournaments, making Quake Defrag videos, Starcraft tournaments and also successfully dabbling in the plague - World of Warcraft.
I suspect quite a few people who use the device feel the same way.
Let's see... Quake 1 through 3 - not modern (1996-1999). StarCraft - which one? Original StarCraft was 1998. StarCraft II would be considered modern. Do you mean that?

I guess modern means something totally different to you.

As does legally obtained software it seems. Anyway, I'm done.
