In a frank exchange at the end of a panel talk entitled (deep breath): Implications of the change in business and revenue share models in Europe for the mobile games industry, HandyGames' CEO Christopher Kassulke certainly didn't mince his words concerning his views on Nokia and Ovi Store.
When asked about its future potential, Kassulke replied; "Have you ever tried to upload content to the Ovi Store? There's no support at all for developers."
"Nokia isn't taking content seriously. At the moment it has no chance at all."
It's strong stuff, especially coming from the developer which is dedicated to mobile publishing and hasn't shifted the majority of its production to iPhone development as have many other companies.
