> Uh...yeah it is. Even if I didn't have a specific game in mind currently, every PC game targets Windows. Not every game works on Linux. Why would I artificially limit myself, both for existing and future releases?
Because that's what "specific game" means.
There exist far more games than anybody has time to play, even if you limit yourself to the subset that are actually good. If you have time to play 20 games and there are 100 good games each of similar quality and 40 of them run on Linux, who cares about the other 60? You didn't have the time anyway.
It only matters if you need those specific games.
On top of that, many of those games will also run on a game console. Between a Linux PC and a game console, you have to have some pretty specific needs to actually require a Windows PC anymore.
