What games work on OSX but not on Linux? A few years ago OS X had better game support than Linux, but in my experience, Linux now has better game support than OS X, due to Valve's steambox push and Apple's OpenGL stagnation.

I'm not sure what they are, but there are 2,449 of them on Steam. 6,451 titles for "Mac OSX"; 4,002 for "SteamOS + Linux".

Historically yes, OS X had much better support. Is there any way to pull the stats out for games released in the last 12 months?

Not easily. I make it 598/367 in Mac's favour for 2016, but that's not really a lot of data.

Maybe there are a lot of Spritekit based games out there?
