> 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.

In my experience this is just an excuse. The developers still have to produce builds for linux and test them and even though this is very easy, they just don't do it.

Indeed. Using Electron is always a lazy excuse, but developers keep making the excuses, so we should hold them accountable.
