That is roughly what I think, too, but not quite exactly.
I think it is of some importance to have free games and to distribute them.
No users _need_ games, but many users _like_ games.
Offering them free games can (1) help them enjoy using free systems
and (2) illustrate that they can develop more free games.

However, that is not pertinent to ScummVM.  Distributing ScummVM
has at best a minimal relationship to making free games more available.

Basically, John's argument makes a mountain out of a molehill, takes a
gram of that mountain, and makes inflates that to a mountain again.
