Yeah.

People turn their nose at this, but devs have to develop for windows. If they can give their users a better experience targeting Proton, with less time and more refinement and better support than a native port, that's a-okay with me.

A hilarious situation would be linux superseding Windows for desktop gaming... And Proton still being the standard target. I would love that future.

I agree.

I'd rather time and polish be given to making sure it runs via proton.

Then a half assed linux port, that doesnt work, thats a waste of time, that will be unused and hated, and be held up by devs as an example of "Well, users don't use the linux version, there for linux isnt a viable target for us to bother with"
