So essentially they're offloading the work they'd do themselves to the developers of Wine, Proton, and ProtonGE.
I wonder if they contribute a donation to these projects.
They sell the game on Steam, Valve gets a cut, so Proton funding should be covered.
But I agree that we should donate to open source projects!
I hope they donate to Wine then
iirc, valve employs people to contribute to wine.
You'll have to ask them. Maybe you should, and maybe they'll consider it. If you don't ask, it's much less likely they'll think of it themselves.
