Clearly s/he has not said "I'll buy it if you do a Linux version" - the statement is clear: "I use Windows to play these games".
While I (as a 29-yr-old father) have no need for games, it's the next generation who matter (whatever age you are, it's always the previous generation pulling the strings, until it's the next generation who are important - it's never *your* generation:)
To what extent does such "giving in" matter? If the poster bought a PC with Windows installed, is replacing it with Linux a statement to MS? No - because they don't know you did it.
Sending a company a letter (still more noticable than email) saying, "I'd have spend xx.xx on your software, if it ran on my OS, but it doesn't, so I didn't" is much more effective than saying, "I'd spend all my time in [ my chosen OS ], apart from this game which I spent xx.xx on, and *need* to play"
