I tried a few games on Linux and I spent more time looking for why one game wasn't saving my game and why another game wouldn't actually launch with no error messages then actually playing a game.
The only games thus far that I couldn't get to work were pirated. Id say 80%+ pirated work, and so far all legit games. Even weird launchers like FF14 (stock, not the 3rd party) and Guild Wars 2. And then of course Steam does most the work.
Everyone's mileage varies, obvs, plus there's different distros and games.
BS. All of my games are legit and all them required tweaking to work.
