A lot of old games have become unplayable on modern hardware and operating systems. I wrote an article about how making games open source will keep them playable far into the future.

I also discuss how making games open source could be beneficial to developers and companies.

Feedback and constructive criticism are most welcome, and in keeping with the open source spirit, I will give you credit if I make any edits based on your feedback.

I have purchased every single open source game that I've seen listed on steam as paid. Examples:

Shattered pixel dungeon (and also the original Pixel Dungeon)
TOME
Shapez
Open Hexagon
Mindustry
Lugaru
Mega Glest
Marvellous Inc
Hydra Slayer
HyperRogue

For more FOSS games on steam, there's a decent list collected on this curator (also pointing which ones are only partially open): https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38475471-Libre-Open-Source-Games/?appid=1769170
