problem with games is that they are only good if multiplayer.
and it's only good multiplayer if you can't cheat.
that means every dumb game system rush to try to run as root. as you can see with steam.
then after they have that excuse they also use that new power to enforce DRM. as you can see with steam.
and cheaters continue to cheat. but now you have malware.
running games in Linux is easy. heck you've done it on windows, you can make it on Linux with better docs and apis. the problem with Linux gaming is catering to users that don't have their heads up their buts. that is the real problem, and nobody sees the monetary incentive.
that said, true Linux gaming holy grail will be achieved when you can run a windows vm with full 3d support. period.

You are tragically misinformed: user@host:~$ find ~/.local/share/Steam/ -perm -4000 user@host:~$ find ~/.local/share/Steam/ -user root user@host:~$ find /bin -perm -4000 /bin/ping6 /bin/ping /bin/su /bin/fusermount /bin/ntfs-3g /bin/umount /bin/mount user@host:~$ find /bin -user root | wc -l 201 user@host:~$ ps aux | grep -i steam | grep root | wc -l 0
