It's awfully slow on Linux right now compared to Windows.

if a game doesnt work in wine then i wont just play it..
there are too many native games out there that im not able to play them all anyway
IE: MWSE mods and such.
When Bannerlord, War of Rights, Iron Europe 2.0, N&S new update, L'aigle, and cRPG standalone are completly finished I would be dual booting a lot along with GTA V :3 (which hoping... with the jan thing going on to perhaps be that game)

If we're just talking unreleased games that I definitly will buy/play :
GTA V (or Max Payne 4/Red Dead if any of those games showed up on windows)
Batman: Arkham Knight
Just Cause 3
The Witcher 3
Any upcoming Fallout and/or Elder Scrolls games.
Any new Risen and/or Gothic titles
Any new Bioshock title
Any new Deus Ex title
Dying Light
Dishonored 2
Consortium II
Rise of The Tomb Raider (assuming there is a windows release)
...and propably a large number of other titles.
If we're talking games I already own but will certainly play (at least in part) again:
Fallout 3/NV
Skyrim
Bound by Flame (bought but not played yet)
Frozen State, I shall Remain, Underrail, Kenshi (bought early-access titles)
...and certainly other titles as well that I may not feel for at the moment.
Looks like I'm stuck with windows for quite a while longer....
Just dont make up excuses, thats the worst ;)
I have around 450 games with well over half of those available on Linux. I've been happily working my way through that catalogue as a number of older games I've not yet played have been ported since. I'll just continue to play with what I have and see what else gets ported. I have a strict policy of not buying games that don't support Linux now too.
Even before I wiped Windows out, I was mostly using WINE instead of dualboot anyway and I found it worked very well with most titles running perfectly even without tweaked. The one thing I have noticed though is that I regularly saw the Steam survey under Windows and WINE but in over a year of heavy play on pure Linux it has never shown up.
I have 94 native Linux Games and ca 50 Games via Wine. I can't play all at the moment.
The rest are not Installed or testet in Win 7 for Benchmarking.

I've got them all working very nicely under Wine now, though some of the mods occasionally run into issues.
Happily the Lost Alpha mod, which I was very concerned about missing out on, works great under Wine too, and I've never once had a crash with it unlike the Windows users I've seen who are quite scathing of its stability.
