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…
