You are 100% incorrect. Well, not 100% but incorrect to a large
degree. You are definitely allowed to link statically. However if you
do, you have to also provide a dynamically linked version where a user
can replace the LGPL libraries with his/her own versions.

This is how all Linux game companies I know of do (not just Loki),
when appropriate.
