People that like to play those games can always dual boot so that kernel-level access doesn't run on the non-gaming OS. It's not ideal, but it allows Linux gaming without compromising your kernel for non-gaming work. Or if you want the option of switching without a reboot you can run another linux instance in a VM, even a VM that uses a logical partition instead of its own image so that you can also boot normally into that partition when you want. Again, not ideal, but if you're committed to Linux then it's still better than being forced into Windows for gaming.
