Especially after adding the game to the Steam Library and launching it either through Proton (if it’s a Windows game) or enabling the Steam Runtime (if it’s an ancient Linux game).
Genshin works on my steam deck. You just have to add the installer to steam as a non steam game and then tell it to run in compatibility mode with proton.
All browsers games that require installation, Nexon games, foreign games not available in USA or Europe, a game made in custom code or another language, all PC-98 games, CD games (unavailable to be digitally made), servers games like Pangya or NFSW. ETC, the list goes on and on, sure YOU think some of these games are bad or should be gone but that’s besides the point of how not to always use one software for games.
A lot of the games you listed would have the same issue on Windows. Additionally it likes like pc-98 can work on Linux.
I don’t see why CD games wouldn’t work on Linux. You can connect a disk drive just like you can in windows. And can then make an iso of the cd for convenience.
One game you listed, Pangaya shutdown.
I’m not saying everything works on Linux, but at this point the large majority does.
Others have pointed out other titles that are pretty popular that don’t work on Linux. So if that game is important to you, I don’t blame you for not using Linux. I use windows for work for the same reason.
Can you share some examples that are not in steam that don’t work?

Genshin Impact doesn’t work.

But just be fair.
Star Citizen only works on Windows and also isn’t compatible with Steam.
Let them finish building the game first, then I think it’ll be fair to talk about compatibility.
That’s unfair. By that logic all EA games are also excluded /s
Hey, hey. Let’s not forget Bethesda games.
Star Citizen absolutely works on Linux. I’ve played it myself without issue when I got a drake Corsair
Looks like it works.

Lutris can be used as a launcher for games and users can generate launch scripts to get games to work.
I use this only if something does work through proton alone.
Thanks!
