Yes but then why isn't linux more popular? It's got a lot of wonderful
qualities but it's not as intuitive or easy for a new end user to use.
There are developers for windows machines, smartphones and so on that do
have free games, even for amazon echo devices, google devices and so
on. They may not be always as fancy or exactly what a person wants and
I know it's frustrating if you want a specific game and it's out of your
price range but some people develop games as a side thing on their own
time as volunteers and some do it for a full time living and those
people expect to be paid as any fulll time paid worker would.

That's how linux got where it is today. The payment the linux developers
got and get is they often learn more about programming doing their linux
development than they manage to do in the careers where they make their
money. A loss for employers but our gain.
Aside from that, the linux developers get to work on the best supported
operating systems on the planet. Microsoft can't match that level of
support.
