the simple solution would be to put every game into a sandbox by default

And compaines wonder why we have trust issues.

Once wasm 64 bit deploys more, we should migrate as much as possible to it.

That at least will make it harder to access random files and keys from disk due to the sandboxing.

Sandbox escapes are still possible, but that’s an additional level of control we can enforce.

Proton does not protect you from harm. It’s not a sandbox.
