For anyone unfamiliar with Linux gaming, at this point, whether or not a game has a native Linux runtime is kind of irrelevant.

In fact, it has been my experience, that Windows versions of many games run better with Proton than their Linux counterparts. Probably because more work goes into the Windows versions to optimize.

Either way, still good to know who's actually trying out there.
