There are not enough gamers there sadly. EVE pulled support and so did many others. It just wasn't worth the cost. The future for Linux lies in engines such as Unity and Unreal where they can deploy to multiple platforms. This requires the developers to do nothing while giving games to Linux users at no extra cost.

Rust is Unity Garry's mod is Source both support linux it's whatever other things he's using that break support.

I see. Well if it's only small things, then he should support Linux. Why? Because I agree with him, the user base is tiny right now. However it would grow (I know this firsthand as I would be one of them) if there were more offerings or promised offerings at least.

This is changing, but Garry, unfortunately, will not change with the times. He has his Windows gamers, though, so he'll be alright.
