tom comments on WARDOGS: "We do not officially support Linux and we cannot commit to having support for launch. We are still working on Official Linux Proton compatibility."

Stop ignoring that linux user base is so small that without proton you wouldn't be even a second class citizen, you would be no citizen at all.

But that's literally not true, there were more games with official Linux support than there are now before Proton launched.

Not more then you have available with proton. And i wouldn't say that the quality can make up for quantity in this case.

That's not what you said though, you said Linux users would be no customer at all, that was never true.

Proton made the responsibility for support change from the Developers to Valve, and meant that Developers no longer cared to support Linux directly.

Be that good or bad or whatever.

I'm not ignoring it. I even said it was great in my original post. I just don't believe putting all of the eggs in the Proton basket is a good idea.

I disagree with your claim that Proton keeps Linux users as second class citizens. But yes, we should not just rely on proton for everything, we should push for native wherever possible. But it's a good stepping stone.
