Both have their own strengths and weaknesses. The reality of game dev is that we're going to see less native ports now that proton has become so good. For end users the result is more games to play on linux so it's hard to complain.
People still are angry that there is no KDE/Qt version of somethingsomething. We're still in 2004 and "interface/framework purism" still is the thing holding back the linux desktop.
Honestly I prefer native just because it encourages support for the ecossystem. But I forgot how many years I've used wine, so zero problems running games on proton and between a game not working and running under proton the decision is not a hard one.
We've always had trouble with the native builds for our games. They work, sure, but there's a megaton of extra work needed to debug platform specific issues, like wireless controllers compatibility for example, and that's while using a popular game engine. With Proton, we make one version, and it works exactly the same on both systems, which is better for us, the developers, as well as for our players. Proton is a win/win situation.
Proton has done a amazing job at making games playable on Linux. The problem we need to focus on now is making anti-cheat solutions compatible with Linux.
I guess that's what most people who actually play games feel about console VS PC. Just pick what work best for you and have fun, there's no need to justify that your purchase is better than others.
I think encouraging developers to provide native Linux builds is important, but there are definitely some technical details which we need to figure out on our side first.
Hopefully, with the growing popularity of Flatpak, this may eventually be solved.
Pistol Shrimp Games, founded by Toys for Bob veterans, have today launched the Kickstarter campaign for Free Stars: Children of Infinity which is a direct sequel to The Ur-Quan Masters (Star Control 2).

To take a census of nearby cosmic objects, sending out a survey won’t work. Scientists need to use many telescopes with different specializations to chart what is in the general neighborhood of the Sun.
