Why Free Games Manifesto

stolen with love from the why cheap art manifesto by bread & puppet further reading: why should you release your game for free? by emma dee, making games is play by nion, and the rest of the manifesto jam 2026 entries plain text the WHY FREE GAMES? manifesto PEOPLE have been THINKING too long that GAMES are a PRIVILEGE of the “GAMER” or an INDUSTRY. GAMES ARE NOT BUSINESS! They do not belong to banks & fancy investors. GAMES ARE PLAY. GAMES are FREE & available to EVERYBODY. GAMES are EVERYWHERE because EVERYBODY can PLAY. Play soothes pain! Play wakes up sleepers! Play nourishes & feeds! Play is exploration! Play is for animals! Play is for the kitchen! Play is like good bread! Play is free! Games are free! HURRAH!
