Tim Sweeney is known to hate Linux, enough so that he thinks doing anything for it is a waste of time and resources. Even if it would be trivial to provide Linux support, I would never bank on him green lighting it.
Yes. Epic dared to challenge the golden boy Steam.
People LOVE monopolies because corporations managed to get them personally invested (emotionally and financially) into their little walled-garden eco systems.
I won't give Epic money but I will buy from other store platforms like GOG, Itch.io, Indie Gala, and DLsite. Also Valve provides more with their platform such as forums, user reviews, easy access to modding, and several other things.
Many gamers have all their eggs in one basket. They have do defend Steam no matter what because they'll lose all their games when Steam goes tits up.They are so heavily invested in that platform they have to keep convincing themselves it was the right choice.
IMHO all this griping about exclusives, Tencent, etc. is primarily because they are afraid a big competitor could threaten Steam, and a threat to Steam is directly a threat to their libraries and decisions.
But Epic is pretty cool. I got Civ VI for free. The less money I have to give to these corporate vultures, the better.
Even if Epic were not cool. Competition is better than no competition. If you are an Intel or AMD fanboy, and you want the other to go out of business, you are a moron.
I mean hope that Intel goes out of business because you like AMD. If Intel goes out of business, then AMD will be a monopolist and you'll get crap and worse crap as CPUs. The point is that competition is good.
Intel has done worse things than tweet out stupid slogans by an interne.
Why is this downvoted? Do people hate EPIC so much that they will side with Apple?

Because it holds their games hostage.

And many, many other things.
