I am always impressed that people who value the experience of gaming will undertake extraordinary research and experimentation to port the games to other platforms.
Gaming on a phone is one of those areas that presumably requires extensive familiarity with processes and operating systems.
Not every developer pursues the activity, since most times games are developed corporately, for the sake of business, and they don't expect a revenue stream to "port" along with the game.
So gaming aficionados and hobbyists take the challenge on themselves, often facing legal pressures to conform to "pay us or don't play."
Linux is the little guy on the operating system block for now. (That doesn't make it worse or better, just not the same.) Many games are slowly migrating to Linux - whose major benefit is that it's not "owned" by a giant tech company trying to squeeze as much revenue out of it for as long as possible.
But never underestimate the power of the users... some of whom are more versatile and inventive than the studios that brought us "micro-transactions" and "subscription play."
