Seems like buying games to remove them from your competitor is a scummier thing to do.

If Epic spent half as much money as they are suing organisations and instead funded developing their shop into a gaming community platform like Steam, they’d probably have caught up by now.

Sweeney is legit delulu tbh.

He literally said Epic’s launcher/store is ready as is, doesn’t need more development. It also runs in Unreal Engine, so you get Chromium (CEF) + Unreal Engine running just for one launcher/store.

At least on Linux you can run Unreal Editor without EGS (because it doesn’t exist on Linux) and if you’ve claimed any free games on Epic, you can use Heroic launcher to manage them easily.

Oooh. This is interesting. I wonder how much of the epic library is Linux compatible.

Everything except fortnite and a few other kernel level anticheat games
