What games? Because a lot of games do work fine, maybe even most of them. The problem is that the outliers are often games that a lot of people are playing (see https://areweanticheatyet.com/). Those games are usually not my cup of tea anyways.
I’m usually playing steam games, and I often will find a solution to make it work on protondb if I have issues. Most of my games I can just install and run though. But I understand it being frustrating if your favourite games don’t work or require lots of tinkering. I have played a few older games outside steam as well. I usually use Bottles for that, as it creates a wine prefix for me that’s set up with DXVK, etc out of the box.

The two I tried recently that were problematic were wow and last epoch.
Allegedly they both work fine. They don’t though.

Last epoch is a steam game. And on protondb it’s platinum apparently.
Never had a good experience with it on Linux though. Buggy as hell.
