You are right where I said in the past that I like video games and that I supported commercial games. Some of the people here drew the line in the sand and said that they were bad and Steam is evil and games like Halo or Zelda shouldn't exist because they disrespect the user I'm regard to not having the source code.

I then said videogames are art and I really don't care if they are closed source because I didn't put the effort into creating it and don't have the right to the code. Free software shines when software is used as a tool to create software for the greater good and support open standards. With a game, my purpose is to consume it as entertainment and not serve webpages or help educate a student in how to code Java.

I can see Trisquel really shining in a library or school where the use is to educate and not make a profit. If used in a corporate environment there could be breaking of the free software mentality if the user uses Trisquel to create proprietary software.
