>Warzone 2100 Remind me, why there are no decent opensource games?

Hi all. I wrote a script for mpv to start up a stream on boot but it'd like my raspberry pi to not load the desktop environment and other stuff that's not essential to prolong its life. Is there a way I can have it boot into CLI but still be able to display a video window?

mpv can play in getty, --vo=drm or you could use weston, --vo=gpu-wayalnd-whatever or startx -- /bin/mpv your.shit

First all, Warzone2100 is decent. Further, there's supertux, supertuxkart, extremetuxracer, warmux, openarena, alienarena, xonotic, redeclipse, assaultcube and warsow - just to name a few.
There's not thousands of free open source games, but you can't expect there to be because making a game is a very time-consuming and expensive proposal.

installed opensuse, boot takes too long, i found out that "A start job is running for dev-disk-by/x2duuid-XXXXX\XXXXX\[...].device" process lasts for 1 min 30 secs. however, UUID which i wrote down doesn't appear in fstab at all. initially the swap didn't work, so i made a new one and copied it to /etc/fstab but that didn't solve the problem.
There are a few decent open sources enginea but thw good gamea require data files since the assets are copyrighted. Quake, Doom, Descent, FreeSpace 2, Enemy Territory Legacy are some examples. Minetest is a decent mining type game that is free.
