Overkill drops Linux support for PAYDAY 2 (www.gamingonlinux.com)

It does, however, still work quite well with the Windows version via Steam Play Proton on desktop Linux and is Steam Deck Verified against the Windows version in Proton. So while it's a loss of support for their Native build, it's still fully playable on Linux.

I’m fine with this, as long as the devs check to verify if their game works well with proton and provide support if it breaks.

Same, as long as they continue to test and verify the game works on Proton and provide support for Linux users using it, the game still works on Linux. Wine/Proton and DXVK/d3d12 have gotten really damn good these days, and I don't mind that games are relying on them to work well on Linux if they actually hold true to officially supporting Proton as a platform.

Yeah, I prefer native if possible, but I understand that it's not likely to gain much ground outside of the indie/FOSS community. Proton is a lifesaver, made switching over to Linux fully orders of magnitude less painful.
