I can play SF6 and Dota2 on Linux. Are those not competitive? If I’m able to play these games free of cheaters on Linux, what’s stopping any other company from allowing me to play my games there? Guess what, games with kernel-level anti-cheat still have cheaters even when they universally block Linux from playing at all. Will allowing the OS with ~3% market share (specifically the subset of that 3% that will even be playing that game) make the cheater population skyrocket?
I know your point is that you simply won’t switch if you can’t use/play what you want, but you’re complaining about an instance where the only thing preventing you from doing that is the corporation who makes the product, and has nothing to do with Linux itself.
Then the gaming community will never move to Linux. Easy as that.

The competitive online gaming community is not the gaming community.
Wrong, but it’s ok if you think that.
I think you could add
“, but it is a part of that community”.
And you get the idea of what is being said.
