They know that gaming is the one thing that often keeps people from switching to Linux. Buying up all these gaming companies is their strategy to keep gamers locked into Windows.

Perhaps that's part of it. But I'd say the bigger part is just wanting more control over the tech industry in general - gaming and OS are just part of that.

@irmoz @const_void we as gamers need to unite and not have to feel like we need to participate in this manner. We can create things we like on engines and systems of our choice. We make it worse by indulging in individualistic behavior of not standing by our fellow gamer.
