These games are such a small portion of the overall steam playerbase I'm not sure why Valve would care. Everyone makes such a big deal about like 4 or 5 games that dont run because the devs have explicitly chosen to not allow it.
From the article:
Like 3 of these 5 games mentioned are not even available on steam. Why is this on Valve to fix?
It's technically not Valve's problem in terms of responsibility, but Valve considers it a problem because their goal is functional Linux support for all games on Steam. They want to achieve that to fully decouple from any dependency on Windows whatsoever, and to have leverage in case Microsoft tries to shut them out on Win11 or a future Win12.
But yeah, still sucks that some studios refuse to support Linux on arbitrary principle.
Because these games have gigantic player bases.
They are but they're also very popular, and people will avoid platforms where they're not supported.
Because Valve is the one trying to sell people hardware that runs on Linux?
Because they want Linux to happen. Just like it's on them to fix Nvidia as well.
I don't want to run a dual boot for just iracing 🤷♂️
