I don't understand that sentence. Why would his puzzle game collection waste anybody's time ? How come people know about it or even care ?
It's a joke -- it means they enjoyed the puzzle game.

The point of a puzzle game is a pastime - often considered to be “wasting” time.
But why would his puzzle game collection waste someone else's time ? He's the one collecting the games or doing the puzzles so why would it waste anybody else's time but his ?

I don't get it, the only way that sentence makes sense is if the backlink ³ Giving useful software means he's also sending people games or something which the article doesn't hint at.
I once used PuTTY as the base for an internal SSH tool.
