    As a Linux user maybe if you make a native app for EGS and then contribute to Linux gaming I might care about EGS.

        Historically? Not really I’ve heard it was buggy and there were not linux binaries. Though they have started offering distro agnostic binaries around 2022. EGS has no native linux installer and Tim doesn’t like linux.

          So and so. Unreal Tournament 2003 came with a bootable Linux CD that went right to the game. Awesome concept but apparently they didn’t keep it up.

    I was a huge fan of Alan Wake 1, and was hyped for a sequel. But if they insist on exclusivity on EGS I’m fine with not playing it.

      I mean, Epic published it and funded its development. It’s not Remedy insisting so much as sticking to the terms of the contract that gave them the budget to make the game in the first place.

      I agree that it sucks, though. At least they seem to be shopping around a bit when it comes to Control 2, so let’s hope they don’t end up with Epic again for that one.

    Anyone willing to provide a TLDW since YouTube can fuck itself to death and Piped never worked for me?

    I don’t know who presumably a person Remedy is, I don’t know about the presumably a video game series Alan Wake at all. Why is there speculation it’s available on Epic, can’t you just check?
