Why would a game need to be run that early in the boot process?

In general I think the best policy is to keep local system accounts
(anything in the 0-999 uid range) in a simple system like the files
or db nss methods.

Consider for example what happens if you run slapd as non-root and
your system happens to have create the slapd user only in the LDAP
directory.
