Relying on Proton just offloads development/optimization to the community instead of the actual developers getting paid to develop it. Sure it’s cool the game runs better. But like pay people to do that.
I guess my question is why pay people to solve a problem two ways?
We have an increasingly functional way to play on two platforms with a single build. I’d love to have both for completeness, but as long as Proton is actively being worked on, I feel like that’s good enough and will certainly not hold back gaming on Linux for years to come.
If it gets a proper market share and can’t be ignored, developers will be more inclined to take care of it themselves. A lot of games come already working on it.

Valve does, they literally have teams dedicated to the work.
Also, do you guys not have re-occuring donations going out to your favorite open source projects every month?
