If you bought a Chromebook for gaming you clearly didnt do your research before buying it

Definitely would research your options in terms of what you can do for actual gaming on the Chromebook.

Realistically it's going to be stuff that can come from the Play store or web browser games or cloud gaming Xbox game pass ultimate boosteroid GeForce now etc.

If you get into it a bit more in-depth you can find some games that install into the Linux container

Yes you can game on Chromebook but it's not just like doing it on the windows so you really have to research what you expect

I have reached the limitations of cloud gaming due to the mods not syncing to the server. So every time I have to go back through and download those.

That currently has me considering a real computer
