Honestly having Heroic and co. is like doing their work for them. At least Steam and GOG are supportive of Linux (much less so in the case of GOG but still), not the case with Tim “Linux=Moving to Canada” Sweeney’s Epic “We pretend saving the PC gaming ecosystem by bringing in exclusives and other shit” Games
@JaxiiRuff@mr_MADAFAKA Competition is good, but GOG is the only one I’ve really seen anyone say they prefer over Steam. For various reasons, the Epic store seems to mainly be used begrudgingly for games only sold there, or to take advantage of free games they give away.
GOG I can get behind. Fuck Epic however. They deliberately deprecated rocket league’s linux version along with stealing it from Steam.
And then there’s Epic’s spyware, their ass of a CEO, their relationship to Tencent, and probably a few things I’m forgetting at the moment.
Fuck Epic indeed.
