Let’s face it. Dude is just finding excuses left right and center. One time they said it was because “easy kernel modification could lead to cheating” this time it’s because of “staff shortage” and next time it’s because the planets aren’t aligned.
When they announced EAC to be compatible with Linux they literally said " … developers can activate anti-cheat support for Linux via Wine or Proton with just a few clicks in the Epic Online Services Developer Portal." (Source) and they know that the Linux community would likely tinker their way to get it working if they were to allow Wine/Proton on EAC…
At this point, I think the only reason a game wouldn’t work on Linux is because of the developers political views.
The part where they say that using Linux instead of Windows is like leaving the US for Canada when Trump gets elected, and apparently it’s bad because it means you don’t help improve things for Windows (lol).
I know it sounds just like a joke, but it isn’t. Tim Sweeney is really such a moron. Source: https://twitter.com/timsweeneyepic/status/964284402741149698
the twisted idea of extreme proprietarianism, which we’ll combat with free software extremism!
