Not judging, just curious.

What games are those? In the last 12 months I tried 151 games on Linux. All of them worked, only 6 required tinkering.

The fact they mentioned "anti cheat", it's going to be your modern online multiplayer games. It's going to be games like Fortnite, PUBG, Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc.

Sure, there are alternatives for the games I listed, but if all your friends are playing any of the games I listed, you don't have many options for Linux outside of something like Shadow or GeForce Now, which admittedly is a pretty solid option for online-only games if you live near their servers.
