"The big problem that is holding back Linux is games"
LOL! Yeah right. Ok, let's just pay no attention to the huge fundamental usability issues. Or the lack of non-game application support. Or the update/upgrade processes. Or dependency nightmares, having to compile stuff yourself, the ever so friendly support community, the battle of the righteous vs. closed-source, etc etc etc!
No, games are the big problem. If not for that, everyone would surely use Linux. Hahaha!
...You totally misunderstood what he said, or didn't think about it at all.
If people have a reason to go use Linux, like games, people (and companies) will be driven to develop for Linux and those problems will disappear with the attention needed to standardize the platform and stabilize the environment as an alternative to Windows.
I don't even know how you would interpret what he said as just being "if you could play games on it Linux would be the BESTEST"...
