Here, here. My thoughts exactly. When I play a game, be it on gnu/linux
or my wii, I'm not putting much thought into whether I could examine the
code. MInd you I play smc mostly, which is open source, but zelda
twilight princess most certainly isn't. It's a game. I play it. End of
story.

I code and do my work on a GNU/Linux machine. When I play games, its
on a console like the Wii or Xbox 360. The TV I play them on has
proprietary firmware and if I plug in a USB drive, it only plays
non-free MP4 and MP3 formats. If I want that drive recognized, it has
to be in FAT/FAT32 or NTFS and doesn't support EXT4.
Do I refuse to use the devices for my games or to watch TV because I
don't have their source code? No. I'm not trying to code for it and
just glad it works as it should. I'm simply consuming entertainment.
