A fully kitted "gaming " machine draws minimum 150W at 60 FPS, most people have 120+Hz monitors so even an indie game draws minimum 300W.
The 3588 that can play HL2 at 300 FPS draws maybe around 10-15W.
Windows is 99% of the market today so if you don't support it you don't exist, in 5 years I'm hoping Windows will be around 50% because people will grow tired of the violent AAA games and electricity prices will rise.
Playing a couple of hours will soon cost more than the game costs to buy.
