There are things in life that are important and things that are
not.  
Generally speaking, it is the 1 or 2 % of the population that
gets the 98 or 99% of the work done.  Those are the people that
should not be inconvenienced as they are very busy and do not
generally have time to play games.
However, I did not say to REmove the games because even the
work-a-holic needs to take a break now & then.  I suggested to
Move them -but- if it comes down to including trivia or real
devel programs, I would vote for removing the trivia because the
individuals that have the time to play the games also have the
time to find them.

BTW, I have never played frozen bubble and will *never* run
freeciv-server...
I use MS Windows for games as that is its forte and also because
rebooting forces me to stop 'working' for a while.
