(The "Windows" slices of the pies are entirely made up by Baldur's Gate 3, which also runs well over Linux)

PC gamers have been around for years, still at the bottom of the list when games get published.

That's because console manufacturers and game publishers team up to fuck consumers.

More gamers on Linux would force their hands.

Well, at least get partity with Windows. It's unlikely to get Rockstar to launch on PC first, but it might mean more MP games work well on Linux.

All I want is for enough people to use Linux so devs care enough to remove roadblocks for Linux, such as anti-cheat. I don't expect Linux to overtake Windows or anything, I just want my selection to not be limited just because I'm running Linux.
