Oh, don't be silly.

Free software is a Good Thing, but people still have a right to charge
for their work if they want to, and believe it or not, they also have a
right to release binary-only software.  If that offends you greatly, go
and do something about it, and stop whinging.  Go on, write a GPL'd
Quake, I dare you.  Out of curiosity, what free software have you
written/released?

I paid for Quake (and Quake II) cos I thought it was worth it, and I
don't regret that.

Since you already have one of those, what are you complaining about?
Use what you're happy with, and stop trying to paint GUI programmers as
freaks.
