What does mean "OpenBSD games"?! all of them are the open-source PC games that are developed primarily for Linux and are *unofficially* compiled for OpenBSD and released via its software repository, such list can be created for all Linux distros and BSD OSes.

  • It does not follow from "We're missing content over there" that we should "delete this content over here" (see also WP:ATD). Do you have a reasonable belief that this content is either not notable or not what we should have on Wikipedia? It doesn't sound like it. --Izno (talk) 14:12, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • I believe that xe is addressing the open-endedness of the inclusion criteria for the list. OpenBSD comes with some games shipped in the operating system itself. There's also a formal repository of third-party games that have adaptations to the operating system. But that repository is not exhaustive, and potentially this list is identical to a list of all open-source/free-software games, as a game program can be available for OpenBSD without being listed in that repository. Also note that every citation here is directly to that repository, so verifiability here involves readers directly checking the repository.

      Ironically, it is an edit by someone other than the article creator, Special:Diff/909995269 that probably points the way, here.

    • @Izno: The correct and exact title for this page is "List of video games/PC games available in the software repository of OpenBSD" and this title obviously says why it is not in the scope of Wikipedia. None of the listed games don't have an official release for OpenBSD and do not officialy support even FreeBSD, let alone OpenBSD! as I said "such list can be created for all Linux distros and BSD OSes" what makes OpenBSD an exception?! --Editor-1 (talk) 03:37, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
