Never understood the Linux hate from Epic, like why??? What’s the point lol
I think it’s more of a gaben hate thing, since the epic store can’t really make a dent to steams marketshare, even when they straight up give away games.
Sweeney is like a man-child who thinks that he should receive higher praise as his more popular counterpart simply because he takes the exact opposite stances on many issues as some kind of underdog. Blockchain economies, the legal gray zone of generative AI, Linux support; and kicking his superiors in the shin and crying to the world when he gets shoved in return.
Epic will always be a lesser store platform, and Sweeney will always be a lesser man.

This makes so much sense, he banned cryptogames, than after valve banned’em too, he backpedaled and embraced them, lmao.
Tim has always been the knockoff version of John Carmack.
He should just lean into the fact that he created Jill of the Jungle. That’s more respect-worthy than most of the stuff he’s done lately.
Because it makes his job harder. He hates having to work for his money. He just wants customers to put money directly in his bank account without ever having to work for it. Other storefronts? Cheating him out of sales. Other payment systems? Stealing his money. Other operating systems? Making his life hard by forcing him to accommodate for something different.

Oh no, my old ass with burnt out reflexes can’t come dead last in every match ;(
I played a battle royal where you had unlimited lives but were weaker after you lost the first (either less health or less damage output) and then the game would end after like an hour or hour and a half OR there’s one team remaining with at least one of their members having their original lives
It was fun cus you could actually play the game and one minor slip up doesn’t mean waiting a half hour for a match to be found and start
That sounds interesting, which one was it?
I can’t remember the name and it upsets me
ah, the Apple method

Personally I think it’s funnier that he claimed that steam just does not have the user base to justify it. As if he is in complete denial, because he probably fucking is.
The steamdeck userbase is lower than the mobile/console userbase
Tbf the mobile userbase is the biggest gaming userbase in the world. I know a couple people in my life who only play games on their phones and have zero interest in conventional gaming.
Filthy casuals
Eh it’s fine bud. At the very least those people now understand a bit more about other gamers and why we do what we do.
So is the Nintendo switch, Epic released fortnite on every imaginable platform, including my samsung smartfridge, so let’s be honest, the only real reason is that supporting the steam deck is directly supporting the store front they’re trying to go against, otherwise the dozen or so million desktop Linux+Deck gamers would have been acknowledged by Epic long ago.
Your samsung smart fridge being…Android
Does Heroic having millions of users? It says 2.4m downloads
The switch has over 132 million sold
i dont understand why epic games was praised since they explicitly discourage linux users and cut support for linux and they dislike linux so much they tried to sue google because unlike epic games, they care about programmers and linux and open source…
I’m not commenting on the Linux stuff itself. But the idea that Epic sued Google because they “dislike Linux” doesn’t make sense on two levels:
- Epic sued Google because they want to keep the extra 30% that Google gets from any IAP. It’s a simple business decision, without any emotions attached.
- Google doesn’t care about programmers, Linux, or open source. They might have a long time ago, but not anymore.
Google doesn’t care about anything.
Ftfy
Anything but money, you mean.
And the shareholders…don’t forget about the shareholders…cuz they definitely haven’t.
They rode the good guys image for quite a bit.
google cares about programmers and linux… if they didnt, chromiumos and chromium wouldnt exist!
Rofl. Are you trolling? I can’t tell.
again, im very sorry but im not trolling. i know that google loves open source because its cheaper, but it also enforces a community and brings usefulness!
Google loves money. They contribute to open source sometimes, because it will financially benefit them in some fashion.
They don’t “love” or “care” about programmers, Linux or anything like that. If tomorrow it was more profitable for them to axe all their open source contributions, they would.
Open source Fortnite

It’s a single flag in the anticheat
Fortnite uses both BattleEye and EAC, so it’s at least multiple clicks, depending on the implementation even more.
And making a linux version
And bug testing it vs every other version
They don’t have to make a Linux version. Wine is a program that allows you to run windows programs on Linux. The reason it doesn’t work with fortnite is because fortnite anticheat blocks it. In order to let Linux users (including steam decks) play fortnite, they just have to change an anticheat setting not to block Wine. Fortnite uses battleye and eac, both of which have wine support
And what happens if Wine Fortnite doesn’t work as expected?
Wine isnt a good system for official support
They don’t have to support it, but it wouldn’t kill them to stop actively inhibiting it
You’re missing the point on “works as expected “
It not working can impact other platforms
Eh theoretically? But if that’s the case, it’s kind of a flaw in their backend. If a buggy client can cause issues, anyone can cause issues at will
They had a mac version if I remember correctly and then killed that when they sued apple.
Where they went Tim?
This should read “Where did they go, Tim?”, for your information. Great meme either way.
they know… it was on purpose.
Budgets exist
