If they are on Linux, Steam automatically deletes the Windows prefix every time you uninstall a game. So any game without cloud saves, has their save games deleted if you don't back them up separately (e.g. via Ludusavi).

    Ah, Steam proton. They could just point the drive_c/users/steamuser/<dir> symlinks to $XDG_DATA_HOME instead. But considering that the "use XDG dirs" issue is unanswered for years now...

    I will be very upsetti spaghetti if my private directories become a dump for game data like they were on Windows.

    They are already, Proton has at least My Documents to ~/Documents symlinked. And there's .config/unity3d/

    Damn, you're right. I suppose as long as they stay in ~/.config and out of ~/Documents I'll be happy. Now that I'm actually looking the only offender there on my filesystem is Kitten Space Agency. It created a ~/Documents/My Games/. They should rename it to Kitten Whitespace Agency.
