There are FOSS games, in all the major genres. They are generally acquired the same way you acquire other applications in your OS. For me it’s aptitude on the command-line, but that’s far from the most common experience. (I really like “Singularity” which is a strategy game where you play as a newly sentient AI; Wesnoth is also good.)
There are a near endless supply of gratis independent games on itch.io and probably other sites. I do think there’s some FOSS trackers that will help you manage game installations that are not done through the OS application management, but I can’t name one.
I just use steam, but I’m not a purist in what I consume – I also use Discord and have a YT Premium subscription. I AM a purist in what I force other people to consume: what I publish is always under AGPLv3 or CC-SA or some other “strong copyleft”.
