Games seem to be a Windows thing. If you play Games, you must use Windows. If you make games, you must write them on Windows, because your audience is on Windows. There are exceptions to this, like Minecraft running on Java (but Notch seems to be a Windows user anyway). Games are a big chicken-and-egg issue for Linux and other OS adoption. A big part of this issue is Direct3D vs. OpenGL. While D3D is clearly a superior API, OpenGL is the only choice if you want to support non-Windows OS'es. So if there were more games (talking about big titles here) for Linux, there would be more gamers using Linux. And subsequently more games would be written for Linux. As there is no initial group of customers (big enough to attract publishers' attention), the situation is not going to change. Unfortunately.
