So my decision is to state this policy:

   contribute anything significant to the free software commuity.

if those four games are all non-free, the suggestion will most likely never
apply to any distro, because it singles out that one specific and very
unpopular program - scummvm is nearly unknown, even to gamers - that statement
will only become less relevant over time

Scummvm is a very well known, very popular engine/emulator. It has been ported to most operating systems and game consoles, it is available on all app stores including f-droid, and it is a staple of retro gaming.

This thread is getting ridiculous.
