I think I agree with Pjotr when he says that not having any game will make
the distro look more dry, less friendly. Not all the people who would
choose xubuntu to install on machines will have internet conections
constantly, some might go to places where its just an easy to install and
use OS for
Games DO take space on the ISO, which is a premium. So removing them
should be a consideration.
Advanced users will not miss them, because they will install their own
anyway.
NEW users are the prize target here. Not including them makes the distro
seem cheap and flimsy as was pointed out.

Depends on the gamer really. I play rare indie games to triple A games on linux
using many sources including steam and wine if I can't get it to work natively
in Linux. Most people just want it to work though. As far as an OS
I would drop all games altogether.
I don't know how many play simple desktop games in 2015, but I would
imagine its a lesser number than browser-based game players. Ultimately,
it's definitely less than people who use social media... That being
said, I'm sure people will rather log in to
I would agree, that only one or two of the existing games. (First thing I do is
install the games I actually use).
This may get me shot down :-) , but how about including the steam installer
undergame with just one or two games..

you should not worry too much about gaming really. Just have the basics.
+1 from me on dropping the games altogether.
The majority of today gamers are mostly into emulators, console and social
media platforms games.

Very Good point on teh Licencing of Steam forgot about that..
In that case, I will change my mind and go for dropping the games.. virtually
everyone i know who uses Xubuntu (or any linux distro) install the game they
want and very rarely use the one already installed.

I would like to plea for having some simple games by default in Xubuntu
Most simple Xubuntu users I know (people with little understanding of
computers, who use Xubuntu because somebody installed Xubuntu for them),
make use of those simple games rather frequently.
They play mostly AisleRiot,
Agreed, we don't need games I think.

I think we should keep at least one or two games. Cut them off wouldn't be
nice. Still there is people who play games in desktop, i'm one of them,
although not frequently. +1 to (Solitaire, Minesweeper, Chess) they are
extremely useful when your internet is off or you are waiting for someone.

Just a bit confused as to how this apparently says
Can we have a list of all the games each of you would like to see

I agree with Pjotr and Bruno, was just about to answer in the same
way. Some basic games (and I think we're not talking about 2–3 here)
don't hurt too much, but none at all makes Xubuntu like a boring
distro, which can't be rescued by cool wallpapers
Everyone I know who isn't a developer looks for the standard windows 98
games when they get stuck on my linux machines ... minesweeper
solitaire. Not sure if that's worth anything, though.
