I agree, games are an important part of the experience people expect from 
their computer (even I, being a geek and programmer, agree with that, 
although I have too few spare time for that ;-) ).

And there are now many great free (either as in beer or speach) games for 
Linux that should be promoted. (I see frequently announces for such games on 
linuxfr.org).

But maybe all those big games should be placed in their own, separate 
repository, so that people using the distribution for work (like 
enterprises) could easily mirror the main repository but skipping that one 
(which could quickly weight tens of GiB with all those great games available 
out there).
Just like it is already done with the non-free repository for those who want 
only a really free OS.

Just a personal thought.

Cheers
