I welcome this. It is kind of similar to playing Xbox games through Steam, as it uses WINE and Proton in the background in addition to the open source reverse engineered authentication and so on. Not my preferred way, but for lot of XBOX or Windows users this could be the last wall of defense to overcome.
But unless Microsoft officially supports this or accepts this, I would be cautious for the time being.
Being able to game on Linux fairly easily is why I finally made the switch. I’ve hated Microsoft for years but it just wasn’t easy to run games for awhile without more technical knowledge than I had. Now it’s so so much easier.
I think if this works out, we will see more people make the switch. Maybe not a shit ton but, definitely more.
