Strange headline. Isn't it always at an all-time high since once you get something to run, that's it?

Some games get patched to break compatibility, usually with anti-cheat. Apex Legends and Battlefield 1 are examples of that.

Oh, I see. I don't play anything like that, so I was oblivious to the issue. Thanks!

Fortunately those are a minority of games. Most games now are working with Wine/Proton out of the box. Multiplayer games are the only thing I ever look at compatibility lists for.

Unfortunately these minority of games are actually popular games. I think GTA 5 Online no longer works on Linux too. There was more popular games doing that.
