Battlefield, Call of Duty, Apex Legends, PUBG, Rainbow 6 Siege, Fortnite, Valorant, League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, GTA5 online (and likely gta6 online).
Personally, only TFT is a blocker for me, and you can get an inferior version working on linux, but it only takes you playing one of those games for it to be a blocker.
How many of these will not run under Wine/Crossover/Hangover?
My guess is that most DRM'ed games won't work right, but they often don't work right under Windows either.
He listed those because they have kernel-level anti-cheat or DRM system that requires Windows/MacOS to run. You cannot WINE them.

This is certainly untrue. Them working often is the entire reason why Windows is the "gaming OS".
Games "often not working under windows" is cope linux advocates tell themselves to convince themselves there is no reason for anyone to have windows installed. Its more the exception rather than then norm, and is usually the older games where their wine setup could be used on windows for the same effect.
