Games - A question

[Keith O'Connell <keith_oconnell@blueyonder.co.uk>]

OK,

Whilst this is not a Debian question, as such, as Debian is the
distribution with the purest philosophical roots, I thought I would try
to get a discussion settled here.

Assuming we are against non-free software and would not contaminate or
machines with closed-source code, what is the panels view on games?

I was talking to a friend about the Alpha Centari port by Loki, it is
for payment binary only as I understand it. Is this an anathema because
there is no source code? Could it be that it is sensible because a game
is an end in itself, unlike an editor, compiler or browser which are
tools that it is reasonable to want to modify?

If the source code is there then in a multiplier game, how can you be
sure that your opponent has not tilted his client to enhance his game
play?

We were just talking - What do people think?
