I want to add something to this: and when a newly launched AAA game doesn't work, the community won't stop until it does.

My own personal examples: Halo MCC and Doom Eternal. They wouldn't launch out-of-the-box, but people just wouldn't stop trying. The GitHub issues for these games were enormous, full of information and people trying things. It's pretty encouraging.

Looks like there's tons of game-specific discussion on the Issues page for Proton itself:

If you go to protondb.com and search for the game, there's a link under the title for "GitHub Issue Search". I suspect that's where you'll find the discussions. Here's the issue for MCC. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2907

What others said, it's in the issues section of the Proton repo in GitHub. Sorry about that, I was on my phone and in a hurry so I couldn't add the links.

Doom is not native?

2016 is, but Eternal not.

EDIT: got fact-checked, I forgot 2016 is not native.

Oh duh, you're right. I forgot they used it as the launch game for Proton.
