You can set all the conditions you like. If your conditions and the
FSF conditions are incompatable, then the deal falls through. Same as
any commercial licencing agreement.

One of the interesting things about the FSF project is that instead
of just debating they are attempting to prove that free software can
work by competing with commercial software on its own terms.

This means that you have the option to go and buy your 10 "good games"
if you want to. So long as there continue to be enough people like
you to constitute a market, you will be able to continue to do that.
What is the problem?
