And around 70% of all online players are on those missing 2% :D

I mean we have tons of anticheat games working on Linux. More than people realize. Elden Ring, The Finals, Overwatch 2, CS2, Apex Legends, xDefiant and more that I can't remember right now. It's not that bad even as a multiplayer gamer. The ones that don't work R6S, Val, LoL, Fortnite, CoD and Destiny pretty much.

Oh i know we do, i'm on linux since years, but still the biggest titles are not enabled for linux.

Have been playing LoL for an eternity and can't play it anymore. (couldn't be happier but that's not the thing we're talking about lol)

Basically all the popular multiplayer games, meanwhile Linux gets the scraps.

No, just the competitive ones. I've played plenty of multiplayer games on Linux without issues.

apex legends is pretty competitive and works great.

its the asshole multiplayer games that wont work.

Yeah, quantity over quality right here. If my favourite game doesn't run on Linux, Linux is dead to me. Even if I had 5 favourite games and 1 doesn't work, it's still dead.

So for a lot of people it's either 100% or it might as well not exist.

If a game doesn't run on Linux I can't even try it. No risk of it becoming my favorite game!
