    Epic chose not to try and compete with Steam on that front

    Forget competing, they lack even the basics.

      What do you consider basic that it’s still missing? To be honest I’ve felt content with it as a game launcher for a while now, but I admittedly don’t use it that often either.

          I kinda understand it not being a priority; even if they dedicated the resources to both create and adequately maintain Linux support, I imagine very few of the games on the platform have native support anyway. Sure, many would work (to varying degrees) with the various bags of tricks available, but it’s still an extra step of compatibility that’s sort of beyond their immediate control.

            Fuck off. They paid to remove support for Linux from Rocket League because their launcher doesn’t support it.

            Existing games that had Linux support already.
