> * Games are developed on cross platform engines. I can't remember the last game I played that was Windows-exclusive.

To some, that's not a relevant fact. Consider someone like me who plays only one game that's only for Windows and consoles. It's never been released on Linux and I had a terrible experience playing under Wine.

I got a KVM switch to play it on my secondary PC. I think there are a lot of people out there for whom one game or one app doesn't work or only works poorly on Linux, and they keep a Windows PC or dual boot just for that.




This is me as well, for league of legends. It's the one game I and most of my friends play exclusively, and is how I keep in touch with the ones who live far away. I'll have a windows box around until league runs on Linux or dies, and not a day more or less.
