From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

And why should they? The bottom line is the bottom line. It doesn't make any business sense to spend money to change your anti cheat mechanism so you can capture a tiny group of users. The incentive just isn't there
I think it's shortsighted. The Linux gaming market is growing, and anyone with business foresight would be putting systems in place to capture that market. Apple is bound and determined not to be compatible with anyone, and Microsoft is not doing gamers any real favors lately, so it's likely to continue to grow even further as people look for alternative(s) to both.
