The penultimate list of Free Linux games, with over 100 titles (and most of 'em work on Windows too) (www.reddit.com)

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!

Using the word “free” to refer to proprietary games in a GNU/Linux context is a huge indicator of a lack of awareness.

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.

FYI, the page you linked to isn’t publicly accessible.

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.
