    The issue with games is that a lot of game bugs are fixed in GPU drivers (one of the reasons why they are so big). The reasons why GPU manufacturers do this is that it raises the bar a lot for potential competitors. If you don't bugfix the games, then your card is way less performant on those buggy games.

    The strategy we follow on Linux is that we'll follow the spec to a T and you fix your goddamned games so that they do so too. It would be prohibitively expensive to do otherwise.
