The sad truth is that unlike Windows, the backwards compatibility of Linux is a little bit lacking. Even the most popular distro is faffing with the idea of dropping 32-bit support.
That is if you only purchase a binary license. Unless I can buy a source code license, I tend to just grab a quick and dirty binary from the Pirate Bay instead. I am quite happy to pay up to £500 for a personal source code license to a game or software I really enjoy. Slightly less so for leaked source but if I cannot get it from the company directly, I simply buy it from "slightly more quirky" vendors instead . Either way I then simply maintain a working copy myself for personal use.
