Well, Steam seems to be growing pretty nicely... Also, for most users a good Browser is all they need. Which is why I love Chromebooks as an option for most people.
This doesn't detract from your point, but... there are plenty of games for Linux nowadays. It cannot compete with Windows, of course, but thanks to Steam, the Humble Bundle, etc., we can now enjoy a multitude of videogames, including AAA titles. And plenty of indies, of course.
There are! It's exciting to see so many games coming to Linux. I don't generally play games in my spare time, but I am glad the state of the art is beginning to make its way to this side.
