None of the recent AAA games work. By none I mean not 99.9%. Proton is not a relyable solution to play games on Linux, it workish on old games and even the one that work have really annoying issues that you woudn't have a on Windows.

On top of that you add the bad stability / performance of graphic drivers on Linux vs Windows.

Edit: Since I'm being downvoted show me recent games that work without issues / tweaking etc ... ?

I am not playing that many games and I avoid using Steam but for me any recent Unreal or Unity game works with DXVK .

You are right that too many times you need to tweak stuff or install some missing 32bit library for a game but I think your 99% number is wrong.

Number is completely wrong. Most of them work. Just go through the release list and look at their protondb entry. Doom Eternal, Wolcen, Resident Evil 3 - the three newest games on Steam Computerbase looked at and they all work.
