If it's free and open source and it's also software, it can be discussed here. Subcommunity of Technology.

CC non-commercial is not a free license. FSF lists it under documentation licenses because it doesn't recommend any CC license for software but the concerns are still valid.
Note that selling copies of free software is explicitly encouraged; free refers to freedom (specifically the "four freedoms") and not to price. Commercial usage restrictions conflict with freedom zero (although it's unclear how this applies in the case of a game) and commercial distribution restrictions conflict with freedoms two and three.
Ah, that's a shame, I never really thought about it, but it does make very much sense. I'll demote but keep the CC BY-NC games in a separate section in this list for now, but I will probably remove them in the future once the list grows enough. Thanks for the pointer!
