The problem is, many native games are poorly-made and offer a worse experience (eg have worse performance) than playing them with a compatibility layer.
So it depends on which case is it with your games.

My first thought...No. If a developer is going to claim that it can run on Linux (native or otherwise), then they should make effort to ensure it does (native or otherwise).I have no issue with how it is implemented (native, port, wine, etc)
My second thought... Yes. If there's no claim of Linux support, I'm not going to buy it because I don't know if it'll run my computer. Yes, I have exceptions, but generally, I'm not going to take that risk with my money when there are so many good, supported games to play.
