My children keeps asking for me to install Windows on the computer so that they can play other video games that aren't supported by Linux/wine. I have told them before but they keep asking. Should I beat them? I need to get the Microsoft demons out of them. Is that the only choice? Beat them to an inch of their lives?

How powerful is your computer? If it's pretty good, you could try KVM+QEMU virtualization with GPU passthrough, which I hear has gotten really good as of late. That way they can have a Windows installation for vidya that will not contaminate the purity of the GNU/Linux system.
Also tell them I said hi! ^.^

Depends on the games, OP. Neat games can be irresistible even if proprietary. Point in case, shit like 4X, DF, etc. But those can probably be played on linux just as easily. So your kids probably have a terminal case of shit taste. Make them play free ports of old really k00l games like quake, doom, whatever.
If you can't exorcise the shit taste out of them then just get a windows computer for their playing, or a console, some privative shit outside of the good computer.

Methinks that you should prove your commitment to
FREEDOM
by allowing your kids the
FREEDOM
to use Windows on their computers and the
FREEDOM
to learn by first-hand experience why Windows and games are not good for
FREEDOM
Doing anything otherwise would expose you as the
ANTI-FREEDOM TYRANT
who you are, and your children will not follow in your path out of spite.
SO HELP THEM GOD.

Get them old consoles there's tons of games to be explored.
Otherwise on a parental level they need to trust you.If you haven't gained trust from them then you can say that you made a lazy job raising them, anyway if you want to correct this you need to show real life example of the negative effects of the botnet.
The most simple and obvious on would be to show that they can't have secrets (aka private life) when using the horrible software but it can be a double edged sword if they don't trust you first.
First gain back their trust in you, don't let others be examples show that you know better on the subject even tho it's a complicated matter to explain to children, you'll need some imagination for that.
Another way would be to teach them the way of installing a distribution from scratch for them to understand the reasons but it's pretty hardcore for kids it requires a lot of patience, time and support with them. Plus pedagogical examples that can be compared IRL to virtual forthe m to understand.
TL;DR
It's not easy nor a short solution.

...or just install emulators if old console gaymes are enough. Anything up to a PS2 or a Wii plays well on a modern gaymer leenoox PC. The visuals can even outshine more modern consoles thanks to higher resolution and antialiasing that emulation enables. Mario Kart Wii looks absolutely gorgeous in 4k. Take that, PS4!

The greatest risk of all is the avoidance of risk, let the kids experience the risk of using Windows if they want to. If you really want them to stick to GNU/Linux I suggest you try a more bargaining approach, really explain why it's the best for them.

Take a ball and go to the playground play with them whatever game they like.
- if they swear you take away the ball away and they can never play again because it was offensive to other people (even if the playground was empty at the time)
- if they cheat you take away the ball away and they can never play with it again
- if they enjoy playing, at random time you take away the ball away and they can never play with it again, just because you no longer support their game
- also show them how DLCs work: you take the ball and they can't play with it because they don't have the same shoes as you
Then at the end of the day ask them if they really want to support a company which behaves in a way like you did.
Buy another computer for them though.
