Those games are generally not AAA by definition, and often either already have a Linux build released, run acceptably under traditional emulation, or both.
- viraptor 2y agoIt's just a platform which is an available option. Nobody forces you to play games that you don't agree with for any reason.
- _fizz_buzz_ 2y agoPeople use Linux for a wide variety of reasons and those reasons are very often not ideological. If the only reason to use Linux was ideological, Linux wouldn't be as popular as it is.
