What are the main reasons that video games aren't developed for Linux. I get that there are multiple distributions, that use different kernel versions. But there has to be ways. I never understood why it's never a main target for big titles.

Video games are not developed due to the lack of market share. A majority of users are on OS X or Windows systems. The kernel version has nothing to do with it as it is largely the same system after a kernel update. Windows runs has the NT kernel which has different versions, yet it still can run the same games on different versions.
Now that Linux is popularizing games are being made for it. Steam is reportedly coming to Linux, which will probably increase the amount of games developed for the platform.
