All of the Paradox games, Civ, Pillars of Eternity, DoTA, Counterstrike. its a small fraction sure, but its not like no big games have native linux versions.

I did say almost never

of the current top 30 on most played on steam 7 have a native Linux version, just shy of 1/4. I'd hardly call that almost never.

I didn't say anything about "most played".

Games that people actually play are very rarely Linux native.

Was your exact quote, I think showing 1/4 of the most played games on Steam are linux native shows that isnt the case.

Games people actually play

Games that are played most often

Do you see the difference there?

You're talking about seven games. Seven. 7. Do you know how many games there are?
