I guess it runs in the background of a lot of things like IRC but not much people knowingly use it

Most game devs release games only for windows cause most users use windows.

Okay, but does releasing a game for Linux add so much hassle? Even indie teams of two and a half devs do it, but AAA devs don’t

Yes, because they have to test and support another platform, and that costs money. And considering linux gaming isn’t mainstream they don’t get much return on that investment.

even if linux base get as wide as windows, it will not bring native games just because of that.

But why indie studios do this? Just because they have no deadlines and investments to lose?

And they don’t test it thoroughly. They just ship it as is.

Well, I only experienced problems with Slay the Spire and Loop Hero so far due to one missing library, after its installation it works like a charm. Playing for five years, full Steam library of Linux games

An AAA company can’t do that, their reputation is on the line.

reminder that you should support minetest and stop buying minecraft

Reminder that nobody plays minetest and you should continue playing minecraft since that is what all your friends play too.

And even if we take testing into account, games which release only on Windows still somehow have shit ton of bugs and no optimization

True, and it would be worse on linux. If they have that many bugs on windows, it will be even more on linux.
