Why is Epic Games now opposed to Linux?
RubyRose136 about 4 hours ago
They were one of the biggest Linux gaming supporters in the past, way before Steam was released for Linux (and possibly even Windows too)... In particular, Unreal Tournament had Linux support. But today it's different. No Epic Store on Linux, etc.

Quoting: RubyRose136They were one of the biggest Linux gaming supporters in the past, way before Steam was released for Linux (and possibly even Windows too)... In particular, Unreal Tournament had Linux support. But today it's different. No Epic Store on Linux, etc.

Valve angered them and Linux support is one of the few ways they can harm them without significantly harming themselves.

During a big anti-trust fight with Apple about their 30% tax they demanded on Twitter that Valve lowered their fees for everybody to give Epic an advantage in the legal fight.
In the end Valve only lowered the prices for big publishers, but not small.
This angered them.
