And yet Valve has to translate Windows APIs if they want to have games, because not even the studios targeting Android/Linux care about GNU/Linux, in spite NDK having the same audio and 3D APIs available as C and C++ libraries.

All because game developers prefer to target this OS full or warts than dealing with GNU/Linux fragmentation.

Windows is roughly 25% of the gaming market and I don't know why you're bringing up Linux. I haven't ever had a console unable to play a game built for it, just Windows.
