Install Linux. Install standalone NVidia binary drivers. Enjoy gaming without either your OS or a subset of your graphics drivers spying on everything you do.

Don't enjoy most of the newest AAA titles.

So, I checked the most anticipated AAA titles of 2016, just to see how accurate this statement is, and here's my findings:

Dark Souls III: No Linux support

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided: Linux support announced for October

Final Fantasy XV: Doesn't even have PC support

Mass Effect Andromeda: Pushed, but Bioware has hinted SteamOS support

Mirror's Edge Catalyst: Has gold rating in Wine

Overwatch: No Linux support

Street Fighter V: Announced forthcoming Linux

The Last Guardian: This is the most vaporware game ever

Uncharted 4: Isn't this a PS exclusive?

XCOM 2: Full Linux support

Once you knock out the games that don't even play on PC at all, or have been pushed to 2017 or later, it's a pretty competitive list. You miss out on two games, which sucks if you were looking to play Dark Souls or Overwatch, but hey, you can always keep a Windows partition on the back end to sate your need for player-abusive titles, if that's your bag.

Honestly, the AAA development scene has gone so far into the shitter, I can't even remember the last one I was interested in. Besides Witcher 3, which is going to have Linux support eventually anyway.

Post on social media how proud you are of being a tool.

First off, plenty of games on Linux these days. On top of that, an acceptable solution is to dual boot and keep all your private stuff on the Linux partition.
