Strange, last I checked most of the top played games were also Linux compatible. Then again, the most played titles change frequently, so I've no doubt at least a couple of non-Linux compatible games make it up there depending on several factors like update/DLC resurrance and such.
Really? I've heard the opposite, but maybe their stances have changed and i just didn't keep up with em or i was misinformed to begin with. Regardless, I have seen a couple of multiplayer games go from broken/not working at all to actually launching and being playable (as an example Naraka: Bladepoint. It also took Dead by Daylight forever to be playable on Linux, but it is now. I believe Apex was the same). Some aren't perfect yet, but they work instead of stopping at the title screen--if even that. Sure, not all of incompatible games are gonna make it to Linux for one reason or another, but they are being brought in--albiet, i admit It's slow as hell but hey, s'long as more people get to play what they want on the OS they choose to use at the end of the day--at least from what I'm seeing. Could be very wrong and am willing to admit so if shown otherwise.
Unfortunate, but true that.
