Opensuse "games" repo not being found properly by zypper

Might be temporary issue but sudo zypper patch and sudo zypper update are not finding my games repo. This repo has been in repo list for couple of years and no recent changes to the repo list has been made. It worked fine yeaterday. It looks like name of repo might have been changed. See below. Note: “szu” is an alias for sudo zypper update.

Trying to go directly to games url does say non-existant repo. This is not an important issue but would like to clear it up.

thanks, tom kosvic

Yup, Maintainers have removed, end of life… disable it…

Only Leap 16, Slowroll, and Tumbleweed are supported by this project; it’s time to upgrade.

But https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime says
openSUSE Leap 15.6 — maintained until at least April 2026

Third party, home and development repos do not follow the lifetime cycle of the distribution.
