All 10 Linux gamers howled in rage at this news...

If there was a market for Linux games Epic wouldn't have pulled Linux support. There is no money in Linux gaming, so many companies have started to pull back on supporting Linux after years of experimenting.

Slightly, but only slightly exaggerated. It's not cost-effective to support a platform with such small user-base, especially when it is a crapshoot of specs on the order of 90s PC gaming.

Probably much simpler just to make a solid Windows build that plays nicely with WINE.

The Steam hardware survey doesn't really support your claims about Linux hardware specs vs Windows: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Softw...

Let alone MacOS, which is more supported than Linux but has comparatively much poorer hardware stats.

I was referring more to the variations of distributions, and the subsystems and drivers and other gunk that makes a big surface area. I've had enough trouble with pulseaudio and Intel graphics drivers and flaky Synaptics crap just on my own machines.
