For games on Steam there's the Steam Linux Runtime which can run games on Linux in a specialized container to isolate them from these sort of bugs.
There's also a variant of this container that contains a forked version of Wine for running Windows games as well.
Doesn't the Steam Linux Runtime have a problem in the other direction though? Games are using libraries which are so old that they have bugs which are long since fixed or don't work properly in modern contexts. Apparently a lot of issues with Steam + Wayland comes from the ancient libraries in the Steam Linux Runtime from what I have been able to find out from googling issues I've experienced under Wayland.
