That is always going to happen at some point, no matter what. There's a reason why so many are against DRM, single-player games requiring online, inability to host private servers, etc. Every game that fights that will be dead. It's why I buy everything on GOG I can and archive it, and why I'm totally loving my short lived Linux gaming experience so far, because it's just so good at making shit work.
Have you tried it recently? I was extremely surprised. I basically have a Steam Deck now.
What distro are you running?
I'm on Mint and for 90% of games Proton just works, for 8% there's maybe 15-20 minutes of figuring out which version it works for and two clicks to change it and maybe 2% just don't work, but those games are usually stuck on Game Pass which is locked down like an entire nunnery.
