    More on topic with the OP:
    According to Valve and nVidia's presentation in GDC2013 (pdf: https://developer.nvidia.com/sites/d...to%20Linux.pdf / video: http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1017850/ ) Linux gaming is on the rise and Mac game is either stale or slightly falling.

    These platforms have a very small current market share when it comes to video games, but it's very expected that they will rise in the future further.

    The main problem that current developers face is their original decision of graphics API, much more than OS platform. I'm referring to the usage of DirectX instead of OpenGL, which is the only option for both Mac and nix platforms.

    I won't go into any detail about the matter, but the point is this isn't trivial.
    yes linux gaming is on rise, ffxiv only game play on windows hell it only thing do on it also there are over 600 game on steam right now and more on way some should join me in linux world it lot nicer here and when world updates doesnt need restart everytime try linux mint 17 its very user freindly.
