I agree, Codeina is a really bad idea, as it promotes proprietary software.
By the way, I also think browsers offering to automatically install the Flash
plugin should be fixed not to do that (also for purely practical reasons: for
those who want the proprietary plugin, there's a yum repository which allows it
to be installed in a way which integrates with the system in a cleaner way, if
the browser installs it, it is a mess to keep up to date!).

Agreed that it's bad, however those game packages which require original
commercial proprietary game date, e.g. rott-registered which you maintain,
aren't any better.
