I would say the next biggest hurdle that Linux gaming has to overcome besides market saturation is the compatibility with Triple-A multiplayer games and getting major developers on board. Franchises like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Rainbow Six Siege make up a large percentage of the hard-core video game player base and are incompatible with Linux due to their Windows level cornel anti-cheat or similar issues.
Yup. Some are doing well (like Microsoft with Halo, surprisingly...), others are actively denying doing anti-cheat on Linux. Here's the website to track them:

We only just got AAAA gaming, and you're taking about 9A gaming already?
There, I fixed it. But we all know that such terminology is nothing but a marketing gimic. And any such AAAA games has been over budget and underwhelming.
