I'm a dev that likes games. Gnome-games is in the official repos, has been for a while; that's what's not in question here. :P As for the solution, I like it as well - clean and makes sense to me. -- Travis

i have to waste so much of my rare bandwidth for such silly stuff :(

but in technical it's not a bad idea.

I have nothing against this here, but it'd be much more than just removing gnome-games. xeyes comes to mind, as well as quite a few other things. We begin encroaching on personal taste here. That said, +1 for the games group.

That's what you call it, but not what arch is. Arch does not discriminate use, it's a multi purpose distro.

My thoughts exactly.

Chess and other intellectual games are not silly. Games are another valid form of entertainment, like movies or music. Maybe you don't see the fun in them, but many people do. I for example have been pottering around in ysflight for the last two days, a combat flight simulator. Studying aerospace engineering, it's been awesome fun to mess with.

So ignoring your personal views, that would be a yes?

+1 from me.

+1 from me too.
