@katt You are right, it works without ordinary wine and also without winetricks. But proton-ge has protonfixes build-in which in turn needs winetricks for most game fixes. There are not many fixes that work without. Thus, it is highly recommended to have winetricks installed. While it is uncomfortable to also have wine as a dependency because of winetricks, you also gain 32bit prefix support for games that needs this.
Do you really do not see yourself using a game that needs some fixes provided by winetricks through protonfixes or games that need a 32bit prefix? If so, i will change this and make it an optional dependency if you argue that way..
