It's question time today here on GOL, so sit down and come have a chat. Today I ask a very simple question: what game would literally blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?
I've asked myself this very same question and while it looks like a simple question, the truth is that it's actually quite difficult to narrow it down.
There's a fair amount of great games we don't have and that's probably a heavy understatement. There's a good 10-20 games I badly want on Linux and narrowing them down was a bit of a task.
I think my all time wish right now would be: Fallout New Vegas.
A game I actually own, as it's one of the left-overs from back when I was dual-booting. I can't bring myself to load up Windows to play it. My Windows hard drive doesn't even fit in my PC case, so it becomes a nuisance to actually load Windows any way now.
Why Fallout New Vegas? I've been a Fallout fan since a young age and I think I've actually played all of them now. I love the world, the style of it and the gameplay is engrossing as hell. It was my favourite of the series by far.

Any "modern" fighting games. Mortal Kombat X, Street Fighter 5, Soul Caliber 6, Tekken 7.
There is a thriving community of fighting gamers and it would be nice to have some overlap with linux gaming.
A native linux build of WoW or ESO might convince me to play them again ..
Also, it goes without saying .. any HTC Vive games!

I had to create a new account to write this evidence ;-(
Why no one wrote ( no one ;-( ) about Path of Exile , i dream about this game
Diablo 3 of course too :-) ( PoE better XD )
More HnS and MMORPG on Linux is priority i think.

My most anticipated game is the Witcher 3. From the unreleased ones - Star Citizen and Cyberpunk 2077.

I'm surprised I had to look at 8 pages before someone whising for the Dark Souls saga. I haven't played 3 yet and I'm like 85% in 2 and they are one of the few games for wich I still reboot on Windows sometimes. Also japanese developers, I would be very surprised if they cared one bit about Linux, maybe I'm wrong.
On topic, I would love to have most of the AAA games other people mentioned on Linux, but what would totally blown my mind would be EA games on Linux. I simply don't see them making the effort at all.
I don't know... Game Devs have something in common with hackers and crackers: Their gigantic ego.
If we insist that EA games are not available for linux just because their Devs don't have the brain for that, maybe the Devs will accept the challenge and they will port their games ad-honorem just for to prove that they can do it...
EA will not complain if their Devs do the porting work for free.
I don't know man EA is very stubborn and hard headed. Besides most of the development studios under EA either have a history with Linux or want to get into Linux development. http://www.polygon.com/2013/10/12/4826190/linux-only-needs-one-killer-game-to-explode-says-battlefield-director
Not surprising since this is always the case, I mean whether you're a developer, designer, network admin, or just a techie in general we all have a soft spot for Linux and would ditch our dual boots yesterday if our criterias are met whatever they may be. For DICE it's EA giving the go ahead. For most other devs its Visual Studio, designers it's Adobe creative suite or 3ds Max, for network admins it's mostly their companies being legacey AF, and for the rest of us it's either a combination of these and a combination of games.
I have to say I do find myself wondering more and more if Linux was on the same level as Windows; software, games, exposure and support wise. Where would Windows market share really be?

Look at the smartphone market. There is your answer.

The Witcher 3. <_<
Why? My Geralt avatar is not just for show. TW3 is in my eyes the most awesome game to ever exist.
