Which proprietary software do you prefer over their open-source alternatives, and why? (lemmy.ml)

Games.

Other than basic things like Tetris (Quadrapassel) and minesweeper, I've not yet found an open source game I've enjoyed nearly as much as the countless proprietary games I own and play.

OpenTTD is the best in its genre if you like that sort of thing... Though it is a reimplementation of originally proprietary software.

OpenTTD is definitely one of the games I played most in my life.

Warzone 2100 is a great open source game, too.
