Not quite true as with Bas' approach there is exactly one binary that
needs to be secured whereas with your approach every single game
binary needs to be patched and audited. While I am not agreeing with
the people who created a setuid-free Linux distro, it's still good
practice to limit the number of binaries that are setuid.
