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. This was just a little list I put together in hopes to give people who are struggling financially (as many of us are these days) to have more options for fun games they can play with their friends or by themselves, I'm sorry it didn't meet your standards. 🫤
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.
That seems really odd to me. I don't expect people to qualify use of the word free in a montery sense in a Linux community, I expect people to avoid using the word free in a monetary sense entirely. And it doesn't seem a little much, it seems blindingly obvious if one's goal is to communicate effectively.
