Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy... and then it's only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can't it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It's so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic... which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

The fact that you can't use the Epic games launcher on Linux should be telling you what you need to know.

How is their 12 foot interface these days?

How is their position on running things via wine? Tim the bellend has generally been telling Linux users to use wine, but at the same time been generally hostile to it.

And it used to work better on Linux, until the Steam Deck got announced.

Yep. Fucking hypocrite tells people to use something he is hostile towards.

Fuck Epic, they are destroying PC gaming which means they are not developer friendly.

They are actively trying to shrink the market that developers can target.

"Fucking hypocrite" and "Epic Games". Never have any other set of 4 words fit together so perfectly.
