Popcon does track active usage information, from atime:
http://popcon.debian.org/FAQ
This won't work if you've got the filesystem mounted with noatime, but it will work if you use relatime.

Very cool! Of course, it doesn't get the stuff outside of debian (steam, HIB), but here's what I managed to get out of it for "games people are using", most popular first:
2231 gnuchess 44230 1890 35622 6677 41 (Oliver Korff)
If I try to filter for things I know of as being "GL games":
2857 yakuake 2305 1145 1047 113 0 (Ana Beatriz Guerrero Lopez)
It's interesting to see the long tail of games being run. I'd be interested in some of the time-spent information you get out of steam, and whether this is just 68 people having run all these games for testing or if many people are playing different stuff, but it's at least more information than I thought we had. It'll help me balance priorities of bugs among these games.
None of this GL stuff is as popular as solitaire, though.

In your list you have 'yakuake'... This is not a game but a terminal emulator ;)

Oh, right. I remember hearing about that long ago and thinking... quake-style terminal emulator? Why is quake's terminal particularly interesting?
