It shows them that they have to be careful about buying hardware to work with XFree86. $50 or $60 is not a big deal in computers but losing software freedom is. I can't convey the value of software freedom by telling people to adopt non-free software. A more easily used database of hardware (and a simple database lookup program to run on Microsoft Windows and various free software OSes) would help people not fall into the trap of obtaining hardware they can't use on a particular free software system. What you're doing is purposefully constructing a narrow situation and rejecting any response that doesn't match your response. You do this to make people believe that your way is the only way to play these 3D games. I refuse to work within those silly boundaries. I demonstrated that for a rather low fee one can purchase a great deal of functionality without giving up software freedom.
