The infrastructure for it has been built, too, which makes a big difference. As I understand it, making any Valve Source Engine game available on Linux is now relatively trivial. Likewise, OpenGL got a big boost from Valve committing to developing for Linux. So, many games that weren't explicitly developed for Linux have had reasonable ports made available, and it's cost game makers less than ever before to do so. I was ecstatic to see Civ V available for Linux, for example, since Civ (and other Sid Meier games) has never had a Linux port in the past. As I said, I buy a lot more games than I used to...but only games with Linux versions. I chose Rust over Day Z, for example, when choosing a survival game to buy and play. Will there be enough people who make the same sorts of decisions to continue to make it profitable for makers to keep making Linux versions? I dunno, but I hope so.
