Is Valve the only company in the world that is not universally hated by the HN and reddit crowd?
No universal but I'm very much anti valve as they are among the few who continue to do business in Russia.

News flash. This is not a news site.
Hacker News…
Don’t judge a book by the literal interpretation of its title?

"I don't play games, I think some people do." Multi-billion dollar industry raking in higher profits than Hollywood and that at this point is an unregulated online casino for teens. Yeah, some people do...

Id rather have static binaries than a flatpak/snap for "universal distribution", personally.

This actually means that at some point I will have to move away from Ubuntu.

Nah. Win32 is the only stable userspace ABI on Linux, so I'm glad they're supporting it. There's no point in supporting native ports of games that simply won't work anymore 4 years from now because everything else changed.
In another words, there is no money in GNU/Linux games.
So, at least from personal experience yes, it makes absolutely no sense to port to Linux, if the result is still worse than proton.
Regularly test under proton during development, and you got a Linux Version of your game for free. From my experience, epic already took good care to make sure unreal engine works well under proton, so if you just pick that and don't add a ton of additional stuff that uses esoteric winapi stuff, you're already set.

Snap really sucks because it forces you to have a /home/user/snap folder on the same filesystem as /. If you don't have that (e.g. home folder symlinked to another filesystem), then snap starts breaking in very weird ways. https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/limitations-in-snapd/9718 This actually means that at some point I will have to move away from Ubuntu.
