I mean: Wonderful, I love that game! :) Wait, wait! The key question here is: does the DFSG-free part *require* the non-free part for compilation or use? In other words: does the DFSG-free game provide *no* significant functionality *without* the non-free data installed? If the answer is yes (that is: the DFSG-free game is useless without the non-free data), then it can be included into the contrib archive, at best (*not* into Debian main). The non-free data could be distributed in non-free, to the extent they are legally redistributable by Debian. Otherwise, they must be downloadable via script from a server that has actually permission to (re)distribute them. If instead there are enough DFSG-free data to make the game playable even without the non-free data, then the game can go in main, along with the DFSG-free data, and can Suggest: the non-free data package (which will anyway go in non-free or be downloadable via script). See Debian Policy 2.2.1, 2.2.2, and 2.2.3, for further details.
