The best one I've ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn't be compatible.

Similar here - The grip League of Legends has on people is terrifying.

As a gamer myself I don't think it's appropriate to try to deprive someone of a hobby that they genuinely enjoy. As a long-time Linux user I stick to games that work well on Linux, like Overwatch. But unfortunately games aren't interchangeable - if League is your thing, Dota might not be an acceptable substitute.

Better to argue for dual booting than to try to cut off a friend's personal relationship with their game.
