Remedy on Alan Wake 2 on steam, "That is also speculation at the moment Alan Wake 2 is available at the Epic Games Store and we hope PC gamers will find it there." (www.youtube.com)

As a Linux user maybe if you make a native app for EGS and then contribute to Linux gaming I might care about EGS.

hasn't the Unreal engine historically been good on linux?

Historically? Not really I've heard it was buggy and there were not linux binaries. Though they have started offering distro agnostic binaries around 2022. EGS has no native linux installer and Tim doesn't like linux.

So and so. Unreal Tournament 2003 came with a bootable Linux CD that went right to the game. Awesome concept but apparently they didn't keep it up.

My only exposure to Linux has been through the deck, but isn’t this why people use Heroic Games Launcher?
