I don't know for sure what "they" did about 90% of games being DirectX. What I do know is that every big game coming to Linux is also coming to Windows. I also know that there's no incentive to go from Windows to Linux because of no compelling exclusives, and the fact that Windows just works, while Linux rarely just works. Considering how Batman: Arkham Knight will be released for Mac OS X, Linux, and SteamOS in fall 2015 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/208650/), and WB's vulnerable position, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Valve blackmailed WB into releasing the game on those platforms by threatening to never allow the game to resume sales for Windows if they didn't comply.
