      Linux is a great. UE4, Epic Online Services, and Easy Anti-Cheat support it as a native runtime platform, and we’re seeking to better support Wine as a solution for running Epic Games store window titles.

      Epic bought Easy Anti-Cheat a few months back. Before that, Valve had been talking with them for Linux support Today, they announced all efforts to get it working under Linux have been halted. Sweeney has compared using Linux to leaving to Canada.

      That’s a false claim. Epic and Easy Anti Cheat didn’t drop any Linux support or make any such announcement. We’re actively working on Linux.https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/easy-anti-cheat-is-actually-still-supported-for-linux-a-statement-from-epic-games.14077 …

      The real enemy of Linux are these trolls who try to overrun social media channels to make claims in bad faith and attempt to harass developers into compliance. They’re scaring lots of good game developers away.

      Installing Linux is sort of the equivalent of moving to Canada when one doesn’t like US political trends. Nope, we’ve got to fight for the freedoms we have today, where we have them today.

      These statements are consistent. 99.9% of game playing is on mobile, console, and PC. A game developer who’s frustrated with other platforms can’t just retreat to Linux. They couldn’t earn a living. We have to fight for our freedoms on today’s platforms as they stand.

      What are those rights? I think it’s the user’s right to install software of their choosing from sources of their choosing, developers’ right to release software on their own, and competition among stores.

      Does this mean ever game developer has an obligation to release their game on every store? No, it’s their creative work, and they have a right to choose how to distribute it. That includes the right to negotiate store terms and reject stores that don’t pay them adequately.

      I mean, how hard is it for the developer to sell a copy of a game to everyone at a given price. Then the store decides how much profit to make off the top of selling it. Game developer gets the same return per unit sold. Then the stores become a commodity themselves. ^^Democracy

          But here is the thing: this concept will NOT work with game exclusivity to a single store. Bec then all other stores will be locked out of the competition. Hence, store monopoly, no consumer choice.

          Well cause this is not the real issue. The real issue is Epic is forcing people to use their shit store by Exclusivity. How can we have Democracy when a Dictator is running it ? LOL
