As a random person who likes the idea of open and free software (and realize "open" and "free" aren't interchangeable), but doesn't care if people want to charge for their software (in this case games,) I'm glad he's offering a pragmatist view on this.

Well, rms was never against charging for software; in fact, he encourages it. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html

  The page basically says "Go ahead. Charge for the software as much as you'd like. Because the user can always download your software without charge from somewhere else anyway."
