Backward compatibility kept windows dominating the software world for decades, if people are clueless. The desire to "drop support" for purity vs supporting all used software.
I guess i'm not upgrading to 19.10 either.

Oh, it is of insignificant importance. After all, gaming is a childish edge case, an improductive afterthought. Freed from that disgusting 32 bits burden, Ubuntu will soar to server and IoT domination since we all know desktop distro usage has no effect on non-desktop distro choices from devs.

Also, i am sure the fraction of WIN7 users who are spooked by WIN10 and were Linux curious will appreciate that perfectly timed clarification.

OpenSUSE installs steam by default and isn't allergic to closed source packages.

Even my two year old phone has 64 bit installed. But I prefer the LTS versions anyway.
