there is demand. 90% of computer users play games, and steam has a lot of users (3 million players per month [1]). having an easy to install package will ease their transition to an alternative operating system. > So, my personal vote, just speaking for myself, is that I'm not willing to > devote a single second of my time supporting those programs although i personally disagree (i think "free" and "non-free" software can and should coexist equally), i do understand your viewpoint. i will take full responsibility for the package. if it becomes RC-buggy or goes unfixed, i would understand if it were removed from the archive -- of course i will work hard to make sure that doesn't happen. i will not need much support except for someone willing to upload the package. > We're not really discussing whether such a package should belong to > Debian or not, that's not our task and in any case that kind of discussion > should be taken to debian-devel instead.
