For practical success, it is desirable to make the game easy to
install.

To respect users' freedom, it is important to avoid dependence on any
nonfree software.

To let the community make sure the program is safe and not malware, we
need to encourage users to package the program for distros.  (See
https://gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html.)

It is important to achieve all three goals.  The second is often
ignored, but then the free software idea is forgotten.
The third is one we often forget.

Can you find a good way to achieve all three?

Wouldn't packaging for specific distros make the game less accessible? Creating a specific guix or flatpak (or even debian or arch) repository could allow more access to the game(s) rather than waiting for distribution maintainers to act.
