Non-applicable. W64 is pretty damn sweet for gaming. Just play through Red Mercury in 32bit and then play in 64bit. "Gamers" would opt for the 64bit version.
I just realized fully what it is that your saying here :-).. Yes I'd imaging the 64 bit version of that game running withing the 64 bit OS is better.

BUT gaming is still in the 32 bit world. 1 or 2 64 games to even a dozen would be a small game library indeed. Most people already have dozens of games based on 32 bit as well as want to play all those 32 bit games that are still comeing out and will be for awhile still.
