"Games" is a bit of a misnomer, Most of the old FreeBSD games have been moved into games/freebsd-games. What's left is not much more than fortune (for login tips), and includes several things that could equally well be regarded as utilities: primes(6), factor(6), random(6). Before you remove "games", make sure you don't use any scripts that rely on these utilities. For example the ports system ignores RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES if you don't have random(6)
