Support indie developers. This is where the cutting-edge of game design is at. The graphics might not be as good, but what is being made now blows anything out of the water that was made 10-20 years ago.
Yes, I love the classics as well, but if you take the nostalga glasses off for a sec and look at what was possible from a gameplay standpoint then as compared to now, there is no way most the older games are objectively better. There are exceptions, sure, but if you look at it from the perspective of entire genres, indie games are better in most cases now than their predecessors.
It's a lot like music. You have to dig now for both good games and good music as both industries have been altered by the internet and culture. Quality still exists, it's just buried in a mountain of shit now that any Shemuel, kang, and Haji can put their "art" out into the public.

a lot of indie devs are soyboys
and even soy-free indies turn out to shill for sodomy

There are too many hurdles to get these new games, though. First, there's no catalogue with all of them to browse through. Second, they don't run out of the box on Linux. Old games, I just download a ROM pack with all games for a given system and an emulator and I'm more or less set. I get a finished game that I'm sure won't receive any updates in the future and I'm also sure to be able to play it going forward on new hard- and software. Additionally, new systems game libraries will become available like this, including games that already had marketing done for them, so I know they exist and whether I would want to play them or not.

Linux gaming is the classic "chicken and egg" problem. Most see no reason to switch, but they have to switch first before it's financially feasible to offer games on that platform. Valves half assed effort a few years back didn't help at all.
