"You should get games from this extremely small list that you probably don't even like or quit your hobby".
I remember correctly, they recently intentionally removed existing systemd/Linux support from their (proprietary) client and have gone windows-only.
@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com
Yeah but when you remove the shit tier games from the list you're left with little.
All fine games and all freedom respecting.

Weapons grade copium. There are good foss games, but most of them are just half assed clones of stuff that already existed. Are you really gonna tell me games like Metal Gear Solid 3 for example are trash just cuz they're proprietary?
Free clones are great, as it allows people to enjoy what such games had to offer without surrendering their freedom - although many clones are left at a "good enough" state, many become functionally better than the original.
I haven't played that proprietary game, so I don't know if it's any good or not, but can you truly enjoy a game if it doesn't respect your freedom and community?

Here's the start - draw the rest yourself; 8
A song is merely a sequence of sound frequencies and if you have the actual sound file - there is nothing but copyright law that stops you from changing the song with ffmpeg and/or sharing copies to your neighbor.
>Or if I can't enjoy an anime if I don't have all of the cel frames or the file that has the source frames, voices, etc that are all spliced into separate files
A video is merely a sequence of frames with optionally a synchronized audio or subtitles - there is nothing but copyright law that stops you from changing video, audio and subtitles with ffmpeg and/or sharing copies to your neighbor.
>At this point, games are an entertainment, they maybe be software but the whole purpose is just to be entertained, its not something where I'm going out of my way and do any kind of work on.
Just because you personally may not currently want to do something doesn't mean it's legitimate to deny such freedoms for everyone.
A game cannot feasibly be modified without the source code and depending on how the game formats its data, control over the format handling software may be required to work out how the data is formatted.
I may not always want to modify a game (I sometimes actually do want to with certain free software games and carry out some modifications), but I may want to compile it from source so it runs on GNU/Linux natively without having to run it through wine.
Don't know about souls but there's a lot of hellspawn to shoot.
Referring to the game art etc as "assets" devalues them to the next level.

Taisei Project is one of the best free software games I've ever played!
GNU/Jihad against "FOSS"!!!
Of course all the software you named has freedom issues.
- The licensing on Tromi is very sloppy, so I can't say it's free and they've gone and it appears that they've ripped sound effects from NES Tetris and SiIvaGunner music, which cannot legally be distributed.
- The GNU/Linux version of Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers should be free software as it seems to be based on SRB2, although I'm not too sure and I'll need to inspect to make sure - although the windows version of SRB2 contained proprietary software last time I checked.
- Xonotic is free software under the GPLv3-or-later although software under unknown licenses is arbitrarily loaded in the online mode.
I don't see see much difference to Emacs tetris gameplay-wise, although the backgrounds are fancy.
According to the page Tromi is free software under the GPLv3-or-later, but I shall check the source code.
