blacklily8 writes "What is the future of free software development for games? Is it possible? Will the games ever equal or surpass their proprietary competitors? Why should we care? After thoroughly researching the free and open source software model, and interviewing both indie and free software game developers, author Matt Barton decided that the future is indeed very bright. Stallman is quoted here saying that game engines should be free, but approves of the notion that graphics, music, and stories could all be separate and treated differently (i.e., "Non-Free.")"

So basically you're blaming Richard Stallman for not being a rigid fundamentalist? That's new.

Okay...what are they? I can think of a couple:

1) Boy meets girl, boy acts like an idiot & almost loses girl, boy comes to his senses & wins girl

2) Evil dude hurts hero, hero trains for long time, reaches near-enlightened state, kicks evil dude's ass

3) road trip!

4) Boy meets girl, then everyone dies (most tragedy fits in here).

But I'm missing the other 4. Any hints?
