Ah, okay. I appreciate the fact check.

Guessing Intel contracted out their warranty to Asus, who were willing to do it for the least $$ (since Asus probably knows their administration of the program wouldn’t cost much with all their denials)?

True, but even if Steam were to offer a x% lower cut on sales for Linux users if the developer makes a Linux-native build, it’d still not entice many to build and maintain a native port if they are only saving x% off a tiny y% of users. Other poster’s point being that incentives like this would actually become enticing to companies when Linux market share (Proton users) increases.

Doubtful Steam is gonna offer a share cut on all sales when it runs on Proton for the 2% of userbase using Linux, and from that only a minority would care whether or not it’s native anyway.

In a few months though I can handle a change or gap in insurance though so I’ve got a light at the end of the tunnel at least

This is just so fucked. In no way do I mean on your end, but just that the system begets inhumane situations like this.
