Is there any reason not to? I can see some reasons why but I would like
to hear your thoughts on that. One reason why I think we should do that
is because it is useful to demo some of the nice games in Linux. As far
as licensing is concerned, IMO gaming content restrictions can be a bit
more than gaming engines due to the artistic values in the former though
I definitely prefer less restrictions.

In most conferences these days, they have bandwidth that pulling in game
content just before the demo is not a problem and doing such a demo for
a upcoming local FOSS conference is of one my main motivations behind
working on this. Btw, I haven't include the regular GNOME games packages
in the kickstart file. Do we want to do that?

If I go to try out systems at Be$tBuy, and I want to play games to test
the video cards, I can't play the autodownload games because there's not
net connection.  So why bother?

We could bother because there are other instances where it is useful and I did give one example of that above. For testing the video card there are several other games available in the spin.
