No one has actually answered Paul's question about why it has to exist. I'm
curious about that too for my own edification. Just because its always

I'll take a swat at that one:
It doesn't *have* to exist, but some packages will attempt to install files
owned by "games". That's OK, you'll end up with some files owned by UID 12.
More likely they will be owned by root.
