Hi Josh,
I'm not quite sure what games/software you're referring to, can you
clarify?
In terms of Steam and Proton which you mention, as far as I'm aware,
Steam is non-free software, so not suitable for Guix to distribute
[1]. As for Proton, it might be free software, I'm unsure, so maybe that
would be useful to package?

Thanks,
Chris
