money talks and develops things. If corp didnt invest their money into computers so on, then we wouldn't have much of the products that the open source runs on. I'm not saying there can't be good open source games, I just find it pointless to knock out all the games that were developed and sold for money just because that was their intent. Money is spent on development to get a return or in some cases because it's a pastime passion but that doesn't happen too often(open source)(have a felling I'll be flamed for implying not often). There seems to be more pressing matters than open source to take a political stance on. Plus seeing as I can't recall you "paying" for a single game you never really supported the nonopen source product by simply playing it.
Don't feel like going into this deeper at the moment but I think I made my point as badly and non transparent as possible so I'm done.

I know money talks. I also know free software talks louder. The feeling of ownership, and involvement, and power that you get from an open game simply doesn't exist with binary blobs.
Moreover, free software is an incredibly important matter to take a stance on -- it is the freedom to be able to use your own computer. It's scary how little people appreciate this.
