    It’s a very small subset of games and most are live service microtransaction garbage not worth playing anyway. Many are spyware and viruses disguised as games, eg Valorant

      The quality of those games is irrelevant. The user asked why people still use Windows and I gave a few examples. Simple as that.

      You are arguing for the sake of it.

        You gave examples, but they were incorrect and invalid examples. As I already corrected you, you’re parroting a myth because games do run on Linux. In fact, games run better and faster on linux than windows
