Yeah, non-libre games are not allowed in Fedora, and a software that only
provides download link to non-libre softwares are not allowed.

But there is an other repo, unofficial, but well maintened and used:
rpmfusion.

For now, all the infrastructure is in movement, and the review will take a
bit of time, but try it.

Others infos could be found here: rpmfusion.org
