I don't see why it has to become less likely for those who care about performance (which major games usually do). Translating DX12 or DX11 into Vulkan has performance overhead, even if you manage to run the game better than on Windows itself (for example Cyberpunk 2077 performs on Linux better than on Windows now). But native releases can perform even better.
And it's probably not always the case that Windows games perform better on Linux through translation than on Windows.
Besides, Wine has to play constant catch up to all kind of NIH stuff that MS will produce. Direct storage is the new one that doesn't have any translation implementation yet. So value of native releases won't disappear.
- jhasse 5y ago> for example Cyberpunk 2077 performs on Linux better than on Windows now Do you have a link? Everything I found suggest that it's the other way around, but Linux comes close.

And I saw people with Nvidia reporting it performing better on Linux as well.
