Without Windows people would make games for Linux. What are you even talking about

  No they won't, they already tried before with companies like Loki. Android games done with NDK are made with the same APIs available on GNU/Linux, studios don't make them available on GNU/Linux as it isn't worth the additional development costs in QA and support.

    Luckily for us most modern engines allow for devs to support all three platforms. With more Linux users, game devs will have more incentive to put in the extra work.

      They do, studios don't bother because it doesn't bring back the additional costs spent in QA and support.

    Your second comment describes the market as it currently is. Your original hypothetical posits a vastly different market.
    • pjmlp 1y ago
      It is the same market, selling games at prices that cover development costs for each platform.
