[Trisquel-users] Battlefield 3 and free software

[yeeehi]

Battlefield 3 is not open source, neither is it free. But it is an amazing  
product that really puts to work the most advanced graphics cards out there.  
A lot of work went into making it that way. That took a lot of effort time  
and sweat and tears. I cannot see how such an advanced computer game could  
have been built these days on a free software basis. The project would never  
have gotten off the ground. It is a commercial product that is trying to make  
a profit for its efforts and to do that it remained closed source and  
non-free.

Isn't this the sort of argument people use against free software? Doesn't it  
hold water?
