What's the point of a free system with proprietary games on it? It's no
longer free and thus is defeated.
The sort of people who would put proprietary games on it don't care about
other non-free bits. This is what has led to all those distros 'out there'
that bundle non-free extras "for your convenience".
Games will always be proprietary. That's an unfortunate fact that I think we
must come to terms with.
Why must they? People used to say that 3d graphics drivers would always be
closed source, but relentless pressure eventually made a breakthrough. We're
still not all the way there, but a great closer than 5 years ago.
The only way to get things made open source is to refuse to give in to things
that are closed source.
I speak as one who has a large carrier bag of closed source games I have
chosen to give up, for this exact reason. There really is no argument for
proprietary software that doesn't boil down to "I don't care about freedom",
or perhaps "my entertainment is more important than my own, or anyone else's,
freedom".
