Unfortunately, there are no video card companies (AFAIK) that actually support 
the free software community.

You are equating "open source community" with "Linux community". The two are 
not the same. The reason I use a Linux-based OS is because it is free 
software. If it were not, I would be using something running a BSD kernel.

Those games are licensed immorally. It is irrelevant that they run on OS that 
are licensed morally. If they want me to buy their games, they can sell them 
with a moral license.
