They don't mean all games thru all times, they mean "the latest $70 release" that still can have problem if it is multiplayer DRM/anticheat ridden one.

On the other hand, those who find contemporary game development trends distasteful might find much to like about the fruits of the Debian Games Team's work on game-data-packager.

https://game-data-packager.debian.net/available.html

The games on that list have native ports that can be integrated into the Debian environment just by installing packages, and the game data packages can be automatically generated from each game's official install media.

      Even easier is to just give up on competitive games, at a certain point it becomes another job and you know... not fun?

      I think Starcraft 2 broke me from this habit, once you're studying various metas rather than having fun you need to take a step back and reevaluate.

        Studying metas can in fact be fun for people. It's mentally stimulating.
