Johnathanamz: Linux is never going to get any of the PC versions of video games from Activision, Bethesda Softworks, Blizzard Entertainment, Capcom Electronic Arts (EA), and Ubisoft though.
Linux will never reach 5% of the PC video games market or 10% either.
Last month Linux dropped from 0.77% to 0.76% on Steam's hardware survey.
I'll take a screenshot of this for the future :) Linux will never reach 5% of the PC video games market or 10% either.

But hey, if you build it they will come, right? Why it has to be a closed platform, that is proven to be the worst scenario around the years, when you can have several people around the globe collaborating to make another better and improved platform? Why that we must run an inquisition against Linux and praise M$ for all the "good" they are doing?
My experience tells me that this need to be changed. It has to start at some point, why not now? We can't have several games made in a limited closed framework, that will always subutilise the expensive hardware we have to buy again and again. It' preposterous from the players stand-point. Think about it, how many times the new video cards and processors are faster and better than the consoles that we actually have out there?
Windows 10 "god mode" / "game mode" you will say. But we still have several problems with Win10 / 8 that are not solved, performance problems, resource problems, etc.
Linux distros do have their own problems of course, but think about it: if there is a problem on those systems, it will be faster to get a fix. If not by a group of people, then from the other group of people. Or else, anyone who is able to fix something, can fix it and publish. For example, I still have problems with NVidia Optimus drivers. In Linux, they have native drivers AND community drivers, that sometimes works better than the official ones. But in Windows, I have a lot of games that I can't play, because NVidia simply doesn't care about it, or the game devs won't be moving a finger.
Anyway. As usual, sorry for my grammar errors and stuff, I'm not a native speaker ;)
Cheers!
