GOG Has Had to Hire Private Investigators to Track Down IP Rights Holders

Linux has a very stable ABI. It's considered a bug if userland breaks.

If you want a stable userland, you can try using flatpaks. When I tried it, it downloaded entire root filesystems for Fedora and Ubuntu just so the applications would run.

It does work. The application appears to be unaware of the outer, incompatible distro.

I don't quite see how this approach wouldn't work for games.

Only kernel. Userspace breaks all the time.
