Comment on What's up with Epic Games?
Pirky@lemmy.world 11 months agoI think Tim Sweeney is actually anti-linux for the consumer. Since the Deck runs on Linux, he has basically negative incentive for any of their games to run on it.

which I hate considering UT2003/2004 had native Linux support.

Also, they killed off the UT franchise so that it wouldn’t compete with Fortnite, even though the games were at best adjacent.
Epic represents the worst parts of capitalism intersecting with games. Well, a set of them, EA represents another set, and Activision-Blizzard yet another set (though there is some overlap). And Microsoft might be the worst of them all but they are still posturing and doing a much better job than Epic at taking market share (which means they know to hold back on the anti-consumer stuff after learning lessons about overplaying their hand too soon several times over).

They learnt their lesson many times over in the past and know how to play the game better
