> Core gamers who support indie games have already moved to Linux.

Do you have any evidence to support this claim? I've seen plenty of indie games targeting GNU/Linux, but no evidence of large amounts of players so far (the fact that there are GNU/Linux games does not mean that more than few people are playing them). From my personal experience (couple of demos of unfinished projects and loads of time wasted lurking into indie forums like TIG and /r/gamedev) the Windows is still pretty much the standard target platform.

The only mention of usage in the blog post is "stats from Valve’s own monthly Hardware Survey appear to show a continuing decline in the number of Linux gamers using the service". That doesn't seem to be evidence in support of your claim, but the opposite.
