reason why gaming on linux is never gonna take off - there is always some reason that the new hot game isn't gonna work. it's been a couple of months for overwatch, the initial hype is already gone - confirms my suspicion that if you have a linux gaming pc you essentially have a paperweight for playing older games that no one cares about
- coldpie 10y agoThis is largely only true for huge AAA games. Lots and lots of indie games come out with support for Linux on day one, largely thanks to Unity. Indie games that don't have a native port frequently (though not always) work in Wine because they tend to be less demanding. Personally I don't like AAA games, so I'm actually pretty happy gaming on Linux these days. So yes, it might be a paperweight if you're a big Call of Duty fan, but it's hardly a paperweight to everybody :)
