From a *Fedora* point of view, the longstanding policy is that we don't
package software which *requires* non-redistributable bits:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packages_which_are_not_useful_without_external_bits
(Game engines which are open source and which work with redistributable
but non-free content are a different special case.)

If this game works with a redistributable content set and is free of
other problems, that's a different story.
