    Games running on Linux don’t count if compatibility layers are used. Weird opinion. Expect pushback.

      Most games run on Linux if we take compatibility layers into account. What’s the difference with IGN if they talk about all games that run on Linux?

          It’s called Gaming on Linux. Not Gaming in General. However, they are not a Linux gaming publication, as they mostly talk about Windows games whose Linux compatibility is irrelevant; that stopped being news since 99.9% of Windows games work without issues.

          It would be like Windows Central making an article about every Switch release that works on emulators. Sure, they are allowed to, but it’s not what their publication is about.
