Canonical: Ubuntu will no longer support 32-bit applications. We’re in discussions with Valve about the best way to provide support from 19.10 onwards. Valve: Ubuntu 19.10 and future releases will not be officially supported by Steam or recommended to our users. Good job.

Right right, I see the point now. Perhaps Ubuntu should be providing 32-bit emulation, similar to WoW64? To suddenly drop support for it without any grace period warning of that plan seems a bit aggressive.

... though now that I think about it, I guess the problem is more in the actual hardware rather than emulation. Oof.

And how about macOS 10.15 also forcing 64-bit?

At least Apple showed a warning for about a year before flipping the switch ;)

Why does ubuntu support matter that much? Debian (ubuntu's base) is not dropping 32 -bit. Linux distribution is all about choice (how curious...right?) we can safely let ubuntu drop 32-bit support, if it ends up being of relevant there's somewhere else to go.

In light of your statement on Valve's Linux gaming work, would Epic also be willing to help improve the state of gaming on Linux?

Eh, every 64bits distribution has 32bit binary support. All 32bit games, tools, etc. (including wine and wine64) will continue to run perfectly fine in Linux even after the drop. What they are dropping is the 32bits distribution that doesn't have 64bits support.
