Upon seeing these options in the installation, I thought I downloaded beta version that needs these for feedbacks Realizing I have installed retail version, I regretted my decision now I will read the all EULA for the firet time in my lifetime to see what it gets without asking. And probably I will just keep windows for games only.

Are the games really worth it? There's a lot of games out there. You can live with missing a few Windows-exclusive titles.

  Are most games on OS X too? The last time I checked the majority of games were not on Linux.

    The general lack of games for OS X and Linux these days is pretty much exclusive to the AAA games. There has been some focus on porting older games to OS X and Linux in the past year or two, so the situation is constantly improving. If you mainly play AAA games, then you're stuck with Windows, but there are definitely some good games out there right now for non-Windows users.

  A FEW? Games that run on OSX and Linux are the exception. Granted, there are now very high quality offers unheard of in the past (Kerbal Space Program, to mention one). If you are on OSX, you have access to a bigger selection of games (Elite: Dangerous, for instance, or EVE Online - both using Wine). On Linux, good luck. Steam improved things a little, but it's still an oasis in the wasteland. AAA games are still mostly locked to Windows.

    "Just" need to convince devs to port their code to yet another platform ..... sic. Let's see how long MSFT and Valve can pretend they cannot get along.

  Huh? If you want to play PC games you pretty much HAVE to have Windows save for a few titles that alos work on Linux/OSX. This is why I'm hoping Steam OS becomes a viable replacement for a desktop gaming machine in the future.
