If my intention was to flame, I would've used different wording. Just
because I'm outspoken on this subject, doesn't make me a flamer.

Anyway, I can live with a separate 'games' group if you want it so
bad. But it has a vague definition. Audio for example is clear: access
to the audio devices on the system. But hey, I can use telnet to play
a MUD. Please add it to the 'games' group too. :P And add Mozilla too
please. I don't want people playing browser games.

But that's not the same as an own prefix. Why should games have their
own subdir? They're programs like any else. I'm not saying that we need
to dissect doom3 into the unix hierachy of /usr/bin /usr/share /usr/lib,
etc. - just save yourself the trouble and dump it in /opt.

But I don't see why games like lbreakout2 would have to be placed in
/usr/games/bin and /usr/games/share... It only makes them difficult to
find and it has absolutely no advantage. It's the same as putting all
texteditors in /usr/texteditors (at which you laughed).
