Do you find open source games interesting/good thing as a gamer?

@games I am a game developer working on game called Mushy Score. I decided that my niche would be to create open source games. I think these could be helpful for developers or teachers to teach about games and how they are made. Most open source games are small game jam games, but there are few “real games” that are open source like 0 A.D. and Doom. As a non-developer do you think open source games could be good thing?

    I think that FOSS games are cool and can often have better hardware support and modding communities, but they often seem to focus on being FOSS rather than being a good game. However, if you can avoid that, making your game FOSS would probably be a good choice as long as you aren’t trying to make heaps of money. Some other FOSS games that I like are minetest and veloren, and classicube is also pretty cool.
