I dont link to things i dont like. :P and the online features arent disabled. To be true, i use the games (just installing the ones i didnt have time for last night) but that is just because Nokia doesn´t officially support my phone model. If they would, i would buy. Though not all of the games work well on my e65 they are still a big thing over the java games. When i get my new mobile (well, they won´t support e66 either) and it is a n-series, i will buy those for sure as i like the idea of n-gage too much to destroy it by not paying for the games development.

And i still hope Nokia gets this sorted. Maybe with an online check of imei/mobile number or whatever. They did put much into the whole platform thing and it would be too sad if they would drop it like n-gage 1 (what a great phone and what great games for the time they were released)

@None of your business – Yes, I did some googling last night and stumbled across them. It appears, however, that the online features and points accumulation are removed/disabled. To me, that’s the whole draw of N-Gage; the community. Without that, you might as well just buy Java versions of most of these games.

For me, the $10 is worth it. However, to each his own, some people could likely care less.

Btw – thanks for not linking to it here. :)

@None of your business – I’m not aware of any N-Gage games being cracked.

So, now as the games are cracked, do you find multiplayer opponents easier? I think with the release of cracked versions of the games, the platform is already dead. Sad to see that nokia didn´t find a way to prevent this. :(

I totally agree on the part of setting up a game.
It is troublesome to go in and out of the game to see whether the person got access to the game I sat up or not or vice versa.

The thing about sms could be harder to get into place, as people live in different parts of the world. The sms will therefore never arrive in “right” time if you have restrictions on when to send. Provided that you live in a totally different time zone.

The status of game purchase is in my opinion not the most crucial one. If you have played the demo and uploaded the score you will see that people’s score stops.
(Due to restrictions on the gameplay)
So if someone tops the score of the trial version then you know for sure that the person have purchased the game.

But it would of course not hurt if there were some kind of icon to represent that.
