Many apologies for the crosspost i want a lot of feed back on this

ONce i have finished my current spree there will be atleast a dozen binary 
games, i had not planned on putting them all into z-rejected.
Some other solution must be reached. I believe Games should become an 
exception due to the proprietary nature of many games. 
They should still have warnings and default to not installing (enemy-territory 
does this, like a z-rejected) but should be locatable within the Games 
section.
ATM i am doing an inventory of games to see if it is worth moving them into a 
seperate grimoire or whether we need to add "services" like arcade and 
shooter so a gaze provides will list games by genre ? Games section now has 
160+ spells and is not going to get any smaller, as well 17 of those are 
"libs" only used by games.
Once my stocktake is done i will come up with a proposal.

Lastly how do Bernardo and Asha'aman feel about maintaining a dozen games, 
some of which are over 350MB in download size and 800MB installed size ?
I don't mind doing the work needed to spellarize these games for our users and 
i would like an open, honest (helpful) discussion about placements and such.
Single line responses are often similar to "grunts" or "shrugs" and can be 
misread.
