I love this for people looking for high quality games with fewer bugs.

The counter argument is that the industry is dominated by the opposite. Low quality trash with flashy graphics and deep monetization. Publishing execs would read this kind of thing and demand to never publish a Linux game.

Then they'd hiss at the sunlight and scurry back into their dank cave ..

As long as people spend money on it the cycle will continue. Publishers seem to have found the quality threshold people are still willing to pay for. It makes me mad but I can't control what other people do with their money...
