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..
