No matter how you see it, games are primarily made to run on Windows and the other OS's are an after thought. I am not saying it didn't get better but gaming on windows is natural and requires no special configuration. A normal user who wants to play games if he's not already on a gaming console the next best option is Windows.

I think this hasn't been true for some time for studio games. Most (big budget) games are ported to windows from consoles, except for indie titles

Most big budget games have a cross platform engine, at least for development purposes.

And yet most big budgets games don't work on Linux, whereas most indie games, or from smaller companies do.
