No kidding. Not counting games I play 'any way I can':

  • Oolite
  • Endless Sky
  • Nethack
  • Shattered Pixel Dungeon
  • Dwarf Fortress
  • Liberal Crime Squad
  • Mindustry
  • WarZone 2100
  • OpenTTD
  • OpenRCT2 (though this requires some investment, you need the files from the original 2 games)
  • FreeCiv
  • EDOPro
  • Card-Forge

That's just what I have on this machine. If I check my GOG account, I'd have more. And I don't give money to Valve.
