What does RMS think of video games?

Unlockable content is restricted to players who have made certain progress in-game. This is not free as in freedom. If a free, open-source game features unlockable content, is it unethical? Is it infringing on muh freedom?

The ultimate solution. The client sends key presses and mouse movements while the server sends a stream of video and audio. I bet it could work with some compression. Like the server doesn't need to actually transfer the audio file, just the sound event, with right left balancing and pitch shift. And it could just transmit the locations of entities visible to the player, while keeping the level itself static. Maybe transmit the lighting effects on visible walls.
