Recently we had the big announcement of Europa Universalis V from Paradox Interactive / Paradox Tinto. Now we know it will only officially support Windows.
I suspect paradox are just taking a fuck you attitude here, but that’s a separate point.
Like it or not, Linux is a very small part of the gaming ecosystem. We also now have proton, that makes it far less of an issue.
Give all this, I would rather a reliable windows version, with an eye towards not fucking over the proton translation. Any Linux version would likely lack a lot of bug testing etc.
The goal is a stable fast game that runs on Linux. How that is achieved is almost irrelevant. At this point, asking them to play nice with our translation layer is the best option.
Perfect is the enemy of good.
