    If devs never target Linux they won’t build with Linux in mind.

    Won’t they?

    I posit this:

    • Windows gaming will die. Slowly.

    • Devs will target Proton more and more explicitly.

    • …Until development is basically exclusively targing Wine/Proton, on Linux.

    It’s easy to laugh at that as a meme, but does Windows seem sustainable now? Is there any sane “single target” for game devs other than Proton? Is it not the path of least resistance, by an order of magnitude? Hence I think that’s legitimately what will happen.
