Embark has made a statement I think in 7.6 or 7.5 patch notes, that even though they will not make a native version of The Finals on Linux, they still make sure this game will work on Linux, even once they switch anti-cheats.
On Discord (I know I know yuck) they said they’ve been cooperating with Codeweavers since Season 5, iirc as consulting to prevent making changes which would break the game on Linux.
There were two updates (iirc 5.12 and 6.9) which did break the game, but those got fixed within 24 hours.
Yeah, while it would be nice, I don’t care about a native Linux version. Proton is so supported that I’m fine with using it.
Since they’ve explicitly stated that they want to continue to support Linux (at least for now), that at least shows a viable future for me.
Like in my response to the other commenter, that’s why I was playing FragPunk, because I thought support for Linux would be there. But they’ve pushed that to the way side.
