There is always the new package manager if you don't need any special options and are fine with binaries:

It easily rivals apt-get but I still stick with the regular ports system because I need to compile several packages (other than the dependancies) myself for the different options not available with binaries and I've never found compiling from source anywhere near as simple on linux distributions as it is on FreeBSD.

What happens when they go out of business and the authorization servers for the game go offline and they never released a patch to remove the DRM? I don't know about you but I still play some of my games from 10-12+ years ago were both the publisher and developer are long gone.
