No, he didn't say "those". He made a statement about commercial Linux games in general.

When a normal person talks about a topic, they don't have to continuously clarify that they still talk about the same topic, it's assumed.

He mentioned that he has a bunch of Linux native games. The commercial ones run worse compared to running under Proton. This isn't complicated. Accept that you misunderstood and move on.

No idea how you get to that from my statement that's advocating to make unmaintained games free. 🤷

Oh, now we interpret according to the intent of the author?

It's a new statement in a new paragraph.

What is a new statement in a new paragraph? You didn't reference anything specific in your paragraph, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

Accept that you misunderstood and move on.

Accept what? Move on from what? You're making no sense.
