What people need to take into account
What does that actually mean, counting as Linux sale (if it works, that is). You'll be part of a pie chart that shows that you're a Linux customer, ok. I know some play games ported to Linux on Proton for different reasons, I'm not talking about those. But for games not ported, the developers and publishers will see: "Hey, we're selling to Linux players without even porting the game to Linux! So we're not even losing all those 1% of customers by not porting, some are buying nevertheless!"
Guess how this continues:
[ ] "Let's port to Linux to not lose the chance of way less than 1 percent of people buying our game."
[ ] "We don't need to port to Linux, they are buying our game nevertheless. And we don't need to support the people buying for Proton, we never promised them anything."

Quoting: RafiLinuxYeah man. This is why I stick to games where I play only with people I know. Every so often I try playing modern games with the public and I regret it.I stopped playing Call of Dutys when they didn't make server browsers anymore. There used to be some cool servers with decent behaviour, but when I couldn't choose anymore...

Quoting: einherjarIsn't that bizarre?I'd find the opposite bizarre. You can't switch between love and hate every other day. You take into account what someone is doing and judge based on that. Of course, this judgement may change over time, but it shouldn't completely switch sides with every new action.
If they do something bad -> They get hated
If they do something god -> They get hated

Quoting: Geppeto35I'm no longer scary about dark and sudden cries for decades, since my ten year old in fact. Not my cup of teaI was so scared by Outlast, I stopped playing in the DLC.

Quoting: rkfgAs Russians say, "money doesn't smell" i.e. it doesn't matter what the money source is, it's still the same money with the same face value.Actually, it's way older than Russian...
