"B-b-but just install the Chinese Spyware application, bigot!" -Riotious and other idiots that probably don't PC game.

Linux Gaming chances died when Steam OS released like a wet fart.
It's actually gotten better with proton and DXVK. Before that Linux gaming was
wayyyyyy worse than it currently is.
Like: I installed Magic: Arena (a Windows only application) on Debian 9. Which utterly amazes me.
With Easy Anti-cheat being thrown a wrench into the gears by Epic, this means a bunch of titles like PUBG, Paladins, and others no longer will work even under Proton.
Anyway, this is a round-about way of saying "yeah, but Valve is doing good work on making that actually change and give Steam-boxes a second lease on life. While Epic is being doo-doo heads."
Oh and it's pretty hilarious for getting called out for not crying about something in this thread lol
EGS sucks and I'd rather nothing be exclusive to it; but sorry if this doesn't ruin my life and cause me to screech endlessly online.
I'm half calling you out as a joke because you think it's not a huge deal (which is fine, you obviously don't PC game often) and half-serious because people like you that are "wHy NoT jUsT iNsTaLl ThE cHiNeSe SpYwArE?" are completely missing legitimate issues with the Epic Game store.
Linux support being a key notable, while their security being a leaky sieve to where you can't trust Paypal/etc. on there being another.
