Despite the impressive list of achievements of open source software, it can be argued that there have not been any world-class games created under the open source banner. Sure, several old games like Doom and Quake have been gifted to the open source community, but there are no comparable original creations in this area. One should not expect this situation to change anytime soon, because the open source development model does not make sense for game development.

You are living in a dream Chris. What does this mean that "not developer's fault"? We are discussing why OSS games are not as good as commercial ones. You say that design and art is part of the gaming creation, and that's true. But doesn't that mean that art/design is not as good for OSS, and while not developers' fault, the end result is the same?
So, if you are to say that "the school is not clean but it is not the teacher's fault, it's the janitor's", isn't the end result the same? School is not clean no matter whose fault is, and that's what matters to consumers/students.
