It is very frustrating that microsoft became the default gamer OS. Until this is resolved Microsoft will stay right where it is at the head of the pack with very little competition for it's market share. What they will do next is release directX 12 or some other BS forcing gamers to buy Win8.
Somehow we need a new gamer OS and I think the market is ripe for it.
Sadly, the ‘high-tech’ games are going to the console (man, do I despise consoles) and are then ported to the PC... The games from 10 years ago are better than these newer ported console games..
When I switched to Linux, I lost a few games, but it was worth it. (Most of the games will run on Linux, if yo0u are using Wine and know how to set it up).
MS Windows had 90% market share, that’s why they had the game market.
Linux uses less system resources than Windows, you would think games would be a natural. Once they get this game thing down, Linux is going to rock Windows world.
There was a Linux distro called “SuperGamer” you can still find it at download.com or something. It’s an 8 GB download thoough.
Exact same issue here. I use Linux and Windows both at work, but have all Windows machines at home - so I can run that latest games. Until there's an equivalent of DirectX for Linux that is widely supported for high end gaming, I won't even consider switching to a Linux desktop for personal use.
