On the contrary having moved to linux made me enjoy way more very old games recently from the 90s just enable the right libraries in proton.

With compatibility layers like proton/wine itself i see no reason why we couldn’t have old games playable click and play in the future.

We would need a community of maintenance but the biggest hurdle is actually ip ownership and copyright law. Why let customer's play old games if they can buy a new version instead.
