Tearing protocol merged for XWayland. Wayland gets closer to being suitable for gaming purposes

I habe been gaming on wayland for over a year and haven’t noticed any difference.

Maybe in super competitive games you may notice something but for the average gamer I think wayland has been viable for gaming for a rather long time.

It depends on your hardware. I notice it a lot on my Radeon 680M. I get bad input lag and inconsistent frame pacing. Performance matters when it comes to gaming and if Linux is to be taken seriously as a gaming platform these issues need to be addressed.
