This list is a little old, so some of the links may not work anymore, but overall it’s still a pretty solid compendium for any budget concious Linux (or Windows) gamer!

Though I mention the monetary aspect, it doesn’t mean I’m not fully aware and advocate for the FOSS philosophy. I would’ve thought going to the extra effort of finding out what software licence each and every title used, along with a direct link to the source code (which in some cases was not trivial to find) would’ve made that much obvious.
Using the word “free” to refer to proprietary games in a GNU/Linux context is a huge indicator of a lack of awareness. I wouldn’t look further.
FYI, the page you linked to isn’t publicly accessible. When I try to look, Reddit demands that I log in and doesn’t present the page content.
If I’d intended to create a FOSS only list, I would’ve just said FOSS instead of free. I think it’s a little much to expect people to always qualify ‘Free as in beer’ anytime they ever use the word free in a monetary sense in a Linux community. The information needed to determine if a game is FOSS was provided next to each title, it’s not like you’ve been deceived.
I was able to add the list in the body of the lemmy post, the link is no longer required, but unfortunately it’s not federating my action of having removed the post link.
