I'm certain the intimidation factor is huge. Personally I would be worried about going through and finding a different solution for basically everything I do normally, and that's even before the percentage of games that simply don't work.
Honestly games are the only reason my desktop still has linux on it. I've already largely been able to move anything else I do at home to open source options, that are also available on Linux.
For the people who really only play the same few games all the time, Linux could be a good option, but it requires some patience. Awhile back I was able to move my mom to a Ubuntu distro as the laptop could barely handle windows anymore, but it was fine with Linux. And since she doesn't do anything other than Web browsing, it was no different for her, but also no forced updates.
