Many of the multiplayer games I play won't work on linux, typically due to the anticheat software they use. Also, there's typically a few hoops to jump through for popular games.

Anticheat is a rootkit, right? That's almost complaining Windows viruses does not run in Wine.

With proton, the hoops are rare, not typical.
