Slay the Spire 2 Announced – Using Godot
It's probably not as rigorous as what you're thinking of but the devs of DCSS have cited online win rates of certain combinations as the impetus for balance changes before.

The Mana World Classic – Open-Source Mmorpg
In a similar vein, see Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, a free and open-source roguelike that's been continuously developed by volunteers for 20 years: http://crawl.develz.org/

Trog
They are entirely too humanoid. I mean, look at these splash screens: Kiku, Ignis, Chei. While those images shouldn't be taken as canonical, they at least demonstrate the general inhumanity of the Crawl pantheon.

Games you can play for 20+ hours and not get bored?
Since you like turn-based games too, try some old-school roguelikes. Many are open-source freeware so you have nothing to lose but time. I've been playing Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup for almost 10 years.

any suggestions for a beginner roguelike? something that's not infuriating
Since Brogue's already been mentioned, I'd add Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and Tales of Maj Eyal as pretty beginner friendly games.

new Oka should have the option to refuse gifts, like refusing Ru sacrifices
For people who don't follow trunk, Okawru's gifting has been changed (and arguably* nerfed):

Game to Play at Work
My personal first timer recommendation? Maybe Nethack or Dungeon crawl?
- Early thoughts on the new shapeshifter (transmuter) mechanics
- Games without a hunger mechanic.

What is your favourite open source game(s)?
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup - Free traditional roguelike with fair mechanics and a lot of variety between species/skill/god choices (~25 gods and maybe with the exception of sif/veh and oka/trog, they are very distinct). The tiles are great. There's many developers and they are very welcoming of code or vault contributions. Reducing incentives to play tediously is one of the goals. Easily hundreds of hours of gameplay for free. Playable online (connecting to a server through your browser/terminal) or offline (terminal or tiles version). There have been win streaks of 50+ games with a variety of species/background combos so you know it's mostly fair(it IS possible for rng to give you an unwinnable game), but it's very difficult if your goal is to win every game.

anyone can recommend me a cheap roguelike-roguelite
For a long time, most traditional roguelikes were free (although there seem to be more on steam lately). I think Brogue is a good place to start; it isn't too complicated, it has some nice quality of life stuff, cooperates with a mouse, and its pretty for its genre.

What kind of builds are currently possible
I only play community edition, and my ascensions have been lightning, conjuration, teleport and some reaping combinations. My mastery was teleport with invis/reaping support. Multiplicity weapons are good (spear, rapier) but i tend to get ambitious and play hard for a mastery and screw it up.
-
Best roguelike to start with?
Your best option is Brogue (community edition), in my opinion.
- Best roguelike on steam for a beginner?

Looking for non-action roguelike/lite (i.e. colony sims, deckbuilder, strategy, etc.)
Brogue

Free games that can be replayed/played for a while
Brogue is another good option if you're down with rogue-likes, can basically run on anything (& has an Android version).
- Does this game still exist?

NetHack 3.6.7
Adding Brogue [1] to the list. Neat and very well balanced.
