Steam gets all my gaming budget, as I really try to stick to Linux.

If it ain't on steam, I don't play it, and they don't get my money.

It’s sad to me that you and many others have this opinion, which is fine, but Valve takes a significant tax from small companies while gamers, a cheap demographic, complain about the price of games.

Games don’t need to be on Steam to be good.

The issue kinda is on Linux we’re playing windows games. There is significant work done by valve on that proton compatability layer, so a lot of people on Linux want to support that. Without that us Linux users have a lot harder time gaming.

There are some other launchers for epic games and gog (heroic game launcher I’ve used). It worked for me for a the couple games I tried (gloomhaven and disco elysium) but I’m using the proton wine I which I think was put out there by valve/steam.

Is this what they want to support? To each their own, but I feel like relying on Wine to play linux games is like relying on an emulator to play your favorite legacy games. Or even mobile games for existing games. It's a nice option, but I'd always strive for native support where possible, because who knows what happens to emulators overtime (and yes, I know Wine Is Not an Emulator. Similar principles in relying on a middleman tool).

If you figure out how to make that happen, let us know.
