Lots of AAA games still ship with only 32-bit executables. If the message is supposed to be "come to Linux, it's easy, we promise," then there's a good argument

Lots of AAA games still ship with only 32-bit executables. If the message is supposed to be "come to Linux, it's easy, we promise," then there's a good argument for making things as similar as possible for devs/publishers who don't want to gamble on a virgin market. I agree with you, though, it's disappointing that even in abandoning Windows we're stuck with MS-style backwards compatibility.
