    Many of the most popular games are Windows/Mac only, like Baldur’s Gate 3, Divinity Original Sin 2, Borderlands 3, Elder Scrolls Online, Rust, Call Of Duty BO3.

    Wish there was more love for Linux native games.

      On windows you ship a game as an exe or uwp app On Mac you ship a .app On Linux you ship the game as a flatpak, or any of the other 14 competing standards

      It’s just less straightforward. That said, pick one and ship it and I’m sure the community will get it working on any system eventually. Linux is shown to be the best at creating useful bug reports even for closed source software.
