For some games it is


Vote with your wallet.

Yeah, I know this sounds stupid, but I mean, the majority of games are there now.

The signal is all that's needed, I work in AAA games and we shifted heaven and earth to make Stadia work. Which means somewhere in Ubisoft there is a fully functioning version of Watch Dogs Legion and The Division that run natively on Linux.

And the answer was the same when I asked why we didn't release it: we don't see a market, and we don't want to maintain another channel of support.

Right now it's not costing them any meaningful sales, so why would they put the investment in?

The problem is with competitive games that require an anti-cheat kernel driver.


EAC works on Linux.


I'd say this is a bit of a stretch when 54-60% of games are broken or explicitly unsupported. https://areweanticheatyet.com/breakdown


There's an option inside EAC to enable linux support.

I don't really care how many games have actually enabled it, I know it exists.


There are so many good games on GOG that I have no chance of playing them all in my lifetime.
