I would suggest we end the discussion about the CB/BYO games.
They are part of the contribs, which will probably be a separate download next to the official CB.
As said : some like it , some don't.
Is it less professional if such a toy is included ? Some will say yes, some will say no. But on the other hand, maybe a lot of us programmers might learn something from game coders (eg John Carmack) so who are we to judge. IDE's are also used to create games, so to the game developers this might be their hello world program ;-)
The game plug-in is fun, show technology concepts of the CB plug-in architecture and certainly has a good educational value.
BYO has done a wonderfull job on several levels (wxSmith, byo games). As a special gift he gave us the games, they are there to enjoy. if you don't like games well then don't play it.
And as far as the "extra byte load" goes, as said contrib plug-ins will be a distinct download.
Did you ever wonder how much stuff you have installed you don't need when you installed your OS ....
Oh yeah : why are they in the nighlies : so we can provide it to everyone without answering 100*100*100*100 times where that cool plug-in can be found people are talking about, and to find bugs in it ;-)
