Don't forget that there are hundreds of distros, that may or may not use different versions of the same libraries. As an example, Ubuntu uses Gnome3, but not Gnome Shell, Linux Mint, which is based on Ubuntu uses a fork of Gnome2, Fedora uses Gnome3, with Gnome Shell. There are distros out there that use KDE, LXDE, and others.
Do you think software developers out there can see a return on the investment of coding for all of the different versions of DE?
TSK TSK TSK You must have missed the part where the OP said "Games". I can´t think of any games that MUST depend on a given desktop environment. What most games need is a rectagular hole in the video display and access to the OpenGL graphics subsystem... even better, hardware accelerated full screen mode...
