I agree!
While there are a couple of games that I am unable to play due to DRM issues, that only allow you to play on Windows, a lot of games do run on Linux now because of ProtonDB.
Additionally, some games are made to run natively on Linux, games like Half Life 2, and Alien Isolation, which are AAA titles BTW. Things are much better in the gaming seen these days.
The more people switch from Windows10 to Linux as Windows11 gets rolled out, were going to hopefully see more developers get serious about developing on Linux. Lets hope!
And look, I got my issues with Valve because of how Gabe Newell runs things, that aint no secret. But I have to give credit where credit is do. Valve uses Linux on their developing machines, and codes their games to run natively on Linux.
So if we can just get more gaming developers to take Linux seriously, there will be less need for some people to stay on Windows, simply because of DRM concerns.
But I hate Windows so much, that there will be games that I never get to play again due to DRM, I won't go back to Windows just to be able to play those games. And since those games are so old, the project is long dead on them, so developers of those games will probably never update them.
There are awesome games that were made in the 90's exclusive to Sony, games like Twisted Metal 2 for example, that we will never see on Steam, because the company that made that game, Single Track, has been carved up so many times bought and sold and re-arranged, just impossible.
What I'd really love to see, is Linux becoming a huge game changer in the gaming world. Get rid of the exclusivity BS, and stop being like EA, where games are only made for their pocket book. Start making games for the people again.
You can still charge for your games, perfectly reasonable. But, make them for every platform, including natively for Linux. To me, that will go a huge step forward in the right direction IMO.
