Yeah, but I mean when making a decision to natively support Linux, it becomes more likely to skip it as "proton can just handle it".

So it's likely we won't see more native development until Linux desktop adoption is much much higher.

We will be at 10% very soon and yes that’s a valid concern.

First all games will work on linux and then onward the future games will be made for linux from the ground up.

Where's the source for that? Every statistic I can find puts Linux at about 4% (never above 5 in history) and specifically for Steam, it's at 2.69%.

It’s at 5.1% according to Pornhub. I know people on the internet like to downplay progress lol.

Real talk, "Linux is the only way you can be sure your porn viewing habits aren't getting logged by some corpo in San Francisco" may be a good way to convert some people
