This is a re-upload of an older YouTube video. You may or may not agree with my honest opinion, but we as Linux gamers have come a long way! Make sure to motivate me for more content by, at least, ...
They exist. How many of them do you see on the front page of the Steam store? Almost never. Games that people actually play are very rarely Linux native. If they were, Proton never would have been created.
All of the Paradox games, Civ, Pillars of Eternity, DoTA, Counterstrike. its a small fraction sure, but its not like no big games have native linux versions.
Most indie games seem to have native Linux support, so I guess whenever one of those hits the front page. For example, Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon have spent some time there, and they have native Linux support. There are plenty more examples as well.
And of these native ports, you’ll get better performance using proton because the port was done by a third party studio and ended support after a year.

I did say almost never
of the current top 30 on most played on steam 7 have a native Linux version, just shy of 1/4. I’d hardly call that almost never.
I didn’t say anything about “most played”.
Was your exact quote, I think showing 1/4 of the most played games on Steam are linux native shows that isnt the case.
Do you see the difference there?
You’re talking about seven games. Seven. 7. Do you know how many games there are?

I’m refering to Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel btw.
Yes I’ve noticed that as well
Even if most games were native there would be still be a case for Proton for older games, and to approach 100% compatibility.
Sure, but it wouldn’t have been worth the effort. Guarantee Valve has dumped a looooot of money into it’s development.
