For the users maybe? After all some users may want to play unsupported
games and not be told every time they start it that it is not
supported.
And I would make it per-gameid in that case (but of course it should
still be possible when editing the file directly to set the flag
globally once and for all - for the moment if I am not mistaken you
only check the flag in the global domain of ConfMan and you would need
to check in both the global and the gameid domain).
