> EGS will never have a Linux build

This feels like a strange thing since the Epic engine is available on Linux (I used it for dev just a couple of months ago).

I am not disputing the statement, the op makes a good case for atleast Tim being quite anti-Linux. I just feels really weird that the game store wouldn't ever get to a platform the engine is already on. It feels short sighted by Epic. Or I guess it just isn't worth the investment...

EGS itself is an Electron garbage. The whole reason to use Electron garbage is to build cross-platform crapware on the cheap.

Interestingly enough, although steam does support linux and isn't an electron garbage, it's going to become one soon.

It might as well be electron since they probably use a chromium/webkit fork to run the storeview and it's an increbile memory hog already. By going electron route atleast maintainance will be easier for them.
