You know what website people here link all the time?

How is your approach different from debian?
Don't get me wrong, I agree perfectly with what you're saying, but people
here normally don't.
Why do they bash on debian but not on you?
You may have contributed a lot to free software and I don't know how much
exactly, but chances are good that it's less than the debian project - which
is neither insulting nor something to be ashamed about. I'm just saying that
debian does more than a single person normally does.
Still your business seems to be ok while debian somehow has this awefull
"double talk".
"To get my point across how many people here went from a completely
proprietary operating system to a 100% free one? I bet there isn't a single
user that didn't first adopt a distribution which contained some proprietary
software. "
That's what i'm saying all the time, agreed.
What i get from your post, you're just accepting reallity and drop the
extreme stance for the sake of actual success for free software.
I would do that too;
BUT in that case i think it's a bit strange to state things like
"I'd encourage people to avoid playing, paying for, contributing to, or even
discussing the games dependent on non-free code. Talking about them furthers
the publicity of the game."
Game = Software + Art. Art does not matter here, so you could easily replace
the term "game" with "software".
Encouraging people not to even talk about this software does not coexist with
your softer stance when it comes to shipping OS.
Don't you agree?
