I think OPs point is that people are going to eventually abandon the sinking Windows ship, because gamers are going to soon abandon ship en-masse. That certainly tracks for me (mostly a non-gaming Windows user).

It follows that, at some threshold number of users, it becomes much cheaper to ship a Linux distro than to continue to support Windows proper.

Game studios don't care about Linux on the client side.

Game studios care about selling games. If 3% of gamers game on Linux, game studios don't have to care much about it. If 30% game on Linux, they do have to care.
