Gregory's ServerHave mixed feelings on the whole Unity thing. Unity is kinda a polished turd, but a lot of good and great games where created and brought to Linux with it. There is Godot, but I wonder how many developers will jump towards a next Windows-only engine of the decade instead, whatever it might be.

I would argue that if a game doesn't even respect your freedom, it doesn't qualify as "great".
Unity is terrible, as every game built with Unity is automatically proprietary, even if a game developer doesn't particularly want to make a proprietary game.

That kernel is really proprietary enough, we really didn't need more proprietary software.
Godot is only one free software game engine - plenty more crossplatform engines exist.
Many games are just C++, OpenGL and GLSL, meaning such could be released as free software and you could then just compile it for LiGNUx with a few fixes, but of course almost no game developer does that, even when its been 10 years and they've decided to abandon the game...
