I want to know who the fuck is gaming on FreeBSD and how.

The comments on this article might lead to good info.

I expect a lot is possible if Wine and good Vulkan drivers are available.

This guy shows how to get Steam up and running:

You can theoretically run Linux programs (such as Steam) on the BSDs. And I am pretty sure that there are some open source games on BSD too. Only tried it a few times tho.

Edit: and there's a WINE version for FreeBSD aswell.
