well the people in that thread don't seem to know either. arguments against it were stronger. like that it isn't even in FHS anymore.

arguments in favor of it revolved around isolation making certain obscure hacks easier (e.g. portable use through NFS, game-specific firewall rules etc.)

messed up PATH makes up problems for non-technical people, but the 0.01% of people who may do such hacks could already compile it from scratch, do a chroot, use rootless package systems like Homebrew, Nix, AppImage, Flatpak, Snap etc.

so, could we move to /usr/bin?

the desktop file is not installed, and nbsdgames is called nbnbsdgames... will try to fix. all games go to /usr/games and never to /usr/bin...

the issue has been fixed with 5-5, https://sid.ethz.ch/debian/nbsdgames/2023

@alexmyczko

but is there a reason for using /usr/games? afaik it was just a cosmetic decision in BSD that has no positive practical consequence, other than causing PATH issues.
