As almost all people(actually just us linux users) know, we the users of Linux distros suffer a major setback in gaming. And quite frankly, we kinda wish we don't have to use Wine or any other virtualization tool to play games that are of interest to us. It's like wanting a dog but ending up with a cat(not saying cats are bad or anything. Actually, you know what? Cats are a*sh**les, if my 1 years of owning a cat has taught me one thing, It's exactly that)

The main point is, would the devs here be going for the Linux distros as well? If not, why? If yes, when?

I think there just aren't enough Linux gamers for devs to go all in on the OS.
