Your inference, that I presumed you have no other hobbies was not an intended implication of my writing. More that a new replacement pastime for one you drop is often easier to deal with than removing one and being left with your remaining hobbies. That isn't always true, just often enough true for me to make the suggestion.

I'm almost certainly using some proprietary software in the intermediate part of the Internet between my home and the Trisquel web site writing this. Short of being off the grid using proprietary software is unavoidable.

So it's a matter of personal ethical choice where you draw the boundary. Further as a shortish journey into psychology and related sciences will show you humans are mostly not rational. So you're perfectly entitled to consider that for you using these games is an acceptable compromise based on whatever criteria you chose. Fair enough. Accept it and move on is the best advice I've seen on this forum.

However you're doing something which is contrary to carefully thought out and widely debated FSF policy. Which most people here are strongly committed to. You're unlikely to persuade us using proprietary game software when you have a choice to do otherwise is consistent with free software ethics.
