    If you look at the steam charts, the big FPS games pretty much dominate. I’d argue that does mean the majority are playing at least 1 of the incompatible games at least somewhat casually or with friends.

    Most of the unplayables aren’t going to be Linux compatible. Most have come out and explicitly said so. If it hasn’t enabled Linux support by now, I’d expect it to never come.

    EAC being enabled for Linux brings the security of the whole system down, which is why there’s resistance to it. You’re not able to cover nearly as much, so cheaters have exponentially more attack surface for a very minimal gain of players.

    Strange, last I checked most of the top played games were also Linux compatible. Then again, the most played titles change frequently, so I've no doubt at least a couple of non-Linux compatible games make it up there depending on several factors like update/DLC resurrance and such.

    Really? I've heard the opposite, but maybe their stances have changed and i just didn't keep up with em or i was misinformed to begin with. Regardless, I have seen a couple of multiplayer games go from broken/not working at all to actually launching and being playable (as an example Naraka: Bladepoint. It also took Dead by Daylight forever to be playable on Linux, but it is now. I believe Apex was the same). Some aren't perfect yet, but they work instead of stopping at the title screen--if even that. Sure, not all of incompatible games are gonna make it to Linux for one reason or another, but they are being brought in--albiet, i admit It's slow as hell but hey, s'long as more people get to play what they want on the OS they choose to use at the end of the day--at least from what I'm seeing. Could be very wrong and am willing to admit so if shown otherwise.

    Unfortunate, but true that.
