I don't see where they are discouraging paying for games?
I do see them discouraging insidious tracking, advertisements masquerading as gameplay, and lottery systems designed to enrich the game developer at the expense of the actual gamer.
I think it's the "free games" part. I think they mean free as in freedom, but is it also free as in beer too?
"Free" is such an unfortunate word, because in other languages it only means "gratis". "Libre", as in LibreOffice, is better.
From the previous sentence:
> The Librem 5 features high quality, free games that respect you.
Free as in freedom, not price: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software.
I agree, when you take a few words completely out of their original context then the statement makes no sense.
