The main problem for Linux games, is lack of backward-compatibility (read: ABI). That is, a game binary made now, is very unlikely to work 10 years from now on year 2018 Linux OS, while most Windows games can be played within ~10-15 year compatibility range. That is: Windows 95 games still mostly work on Windows Vista.
Really, you think it's the ABI? I downloaded the quake 3 arena demo in 1999. Back in the day I was playing on redhat 6.x, with a 2.2 kernel - 10 years later, that same binary plays better than ever on suse 10.3, with a 2.6 kernel. So, I don't see this as an issue. The real issue IMHO is the elephant in the room that nobody seems to have noticed: The frantic efforts of an extremely wealthy monopoly, bent on fighting linux adoption at every turn, and using their seemingly endless budget to that end.
