I have been saying that since two or three years ago.
As i've said before, games is not the strong point of any Linux distribution, and nobody use linux to game, face it, some people download games, but most of the gamer people are playing consoles, not even a desktop/laptop computer..
For me having another repo [games] won't be a mess, and for non-gamers won't be a mess either cause we won't play games!. games are not popular software like KDE/GNOME (which I don't use), even if you try harder to justify about "other bigger packages" no dude, games are not so popular to this size of mb. It's a relation popular <-> disk space.
But well, i'm done with this, games in repos are hurting our distro instead helping it..
Good luck
You are ill informed, indie games are making millions and services such as Desura are introducing them to the Linux community. Oh and by the way, I game on Arch, your assumption that nobody does is preposterous. Also, Linux is always more considerate towards the "Humble Bundles", http://www.humblebundle.com/, take a look at the average purchase price, Linux is top, and is consistently on the bundles. Please don't assume what I do on my system. -- Jason Steadman http://www.meyithi.com/ http://twitter.com/meyithi
