What that site doesn't mention is that there is usually an amount of 
tinkering necessary to get the games running and that the tinkers often 
work in one distribution but not in the other. I'll admit that many 
games are trivial to get running, but probably more work than most are 
willing to go through. Additionally, if the games aren't on Steam, the 
download rates in applications like Lutris, for whatever reason, are 
unbelievably slow.
