I gave up on proprietary games a long time ago. It's just so much easier knowing that games will work, probably run like a rocket and generally available in package repos.
Well, I keep an old PC with Linux 2.4 for two games for Linux: Medal of Honor Beta 3 and Inner worlds from 1996. Sometimes, I run older games on PCLinuxOS from 2010 that give me some time to sort out issues with a specific game on the current version of Ubuntu.
Of course, InterAction studios were regularly updating their games for Linux, which most companies don't decide to do. You can run their games for Linux released 12 years ago.
Probably? The availability of a source code is one of many factors that decide if an application will be regularly updated for a specific platform.
What with games that were removed from the repo?
What with all games from SourceForge?
For instance, I had to wait years when someone updated Slune for Linux, and I can mention my favorite open-source game: The Hunted Chronicle 2 (a mod for Darkplaces). It looks much better than a majority of open source games, and I had to use the 32-bit version to run it.

I have no idea if the Linux versions were available on Steam.
I try with different versions of Chicken Invaders for Linux, and I have more fun playing it than with Jets'n'Guns
I have to admit that I don't care about games for Windows. For instance, I remember that I bought only games for Linux and Mac when My game company was closed.
Similarly, I didn't download the Windows versions of games when Desura was closed.
