I'm imagining this happening to someone on a highly metered connection and blowing through gigs of their limited monthly upload budget before realizing their OS has just gone rogue on them. Treating everyone like they have an unlimited bandwidth budget and greedily using it without permission is just awful behavior.

Proton is an improvement for sure and worth being hopeful about but it takes effort to get/keep games working. I've probably spent 10 hours trying to make Cyberpunk 2077 work with varying levels of success. I finally caved and just started booting into Windows 11 to play -- the only time I ever use it.
