I wish this worked for games, I'd totally be a portrait user.

A triple monitor setup with 2 side monitors in portrait mode seems to be optimal these days.

That way your primary monitor can still be used to watch media and play games in the "standard" widescreen format, but your code and browser can readily be viewed on the sides.

For ergonomic reasons your work should be in front of you. If you're staring at a side monitor long term that'll wreak havoc on your neck.

Just run the games in windowed mode and you can generally change the size to however big you want.

sure but the UI is generally written to be a horizontal layout.
