I generally agree with this sentiment. The way I see it, if you have to make concessions for a platform, then that platform is not really a very viable option. If I want to play X, but X is not available for my platform, telling me "Well Y is supported, and it's also a AAA game!" That doesn't really help me any, because I don't want _Y_, I want _X_.
I feel like a large part of the group making who believe Linux is gaming ready doesn't understand that angle.

- cptskippy 9y agoIt's a chicken and egg problem. Gamers don't want to adopt a platform that will hinder them and studios don't want to support a platform no one is using.
- shmerl 9y agoIt was in the past, but it's not stalled anymore, since you can observe the gradual growth. I.e. more games are coming out for Linux, which in turn makes more people use it, which in turn brings more games. So it's improving.
