That's actually the same when you buy it from the store, generally.
Most game stores don't allow returns, and it can be impossible to
predict whether a game will work well on your computer even if you've
got fairly modern hardware and licensed Microsoft Windows. This is one
of the drivers of illegal downloading of games; when you download
illegally, you aren't stuck with a bill when games don't work.
The repos should be house to native titles only.
I should clarify that I'm not actually talking about repos for
commercial games at all. What I'm saying is that we can still
acknowledge the existence of and desire for non-libre games while
pursuing our own goal of promoting libre games as well. This means
making available good Wine documentation and resources to help players
run the games they choose, while focusing resources and marketing
materials on quality libre games.
