The Linux users that do buy games aren't usually the die hards so they don't mind so much booting into Windows to play games.
I used to think this way when I first converted my Windows 98SE box over to a dual boot system. I had a few Windows games at the time, none of which worked on WINE. But over time, I lost interest in rebooting into the pain that was Win98 and playing a game that would lock the machine within the first hour of play. Instead I started buying the Loki releases for Linux and I never looked back. Win98 was deleted off the partition a couple of years back to give me more disk space. These days, various Quake 3 mods and Scorched3d consume my gaming hours and I look forward to buying UT2k4 and Doom III when I replace my current system this summer. I shall probably also part with money for GravRally and maybe Dark Lore too.
