less people play games on it, so it get's less dev attention.. so quality suffers.. so less people play games on it.
I'm not blaming game devs, linux devs or users for this nor am i blaming Microsoft etc.
It just is. Efforts like Wine and Steamdeck go above and beyond to maybe changing this.
This is not because of some property of Linux, but mostly because of game developers' unfamiliarity with it. Sure there's some issues with window servers but if you're building a game using any mainstream engine or even simpler frameworks like SDL that shouldn't be much of an actual issue.
Except that the parent's point is refuted by the OP's article (that brought us all here to discuss):
"Do you know how many of these 400 bug reports were actually platform-specific? 3. Literally only 3 things were problems that came out just on Linux."
This was before the Snap project though. (Somewhat related: I hadn't realised until today that Snap isn't fully Free and Open Source.)
