I think that is the problem. If 2.1 is included in stable now, it will
stay at the version included at freeze time, whatever that will be (if I
remember the policy correctly). There is debian-volatile for
fast-changing packages, though the descriptions only talks about things
like virus scanners or spam filters, I don't know if games are accepted
there, and I don't know how many people know about it (possibly even
less than backports).
So is whatever will be available at freeze time suitable to be included
in a stable distribution for over a year?

Well, if it can be updated (which I doubt, but I could be wrong), then
I'm ok with including it, but if it cannot, then backports sounds like
the better plan to me.
