[sldev] Freedesktop.org "games" list (Re: Improvements for the zugaina secondlife gentoo ebuild.)

[Gareth Nelson]

One tiny point:
Do we really want to encourage SL to be classified in the games
category? I don't know about everyone else, but personally I get quite
irritated by the description of SL as "just a game". This
misunderstanding leads to stupidities such as newbies asking for "Free
L$ cheat codes" etc.
