    I get that Sweeny doesn’t like to gargle Gabe’s billionaire balls as much as a lot of the users here, but Epic officially supporting Linux is a good thing.

      What missing feature is needed from heroic ? I prefer 1000x time having community driven launcher than official one. Egs is known to be a piece of shit launcher and if any official développement impede on the community one I’m gonna burn something. Also have u tried egs on android ? It unreal how barebone it is. Not sure a linux one will be complete and useful.

      Also launcher support ≠ fortnite support

        Naa, it’s about the network affect. Sweeney said there would be no LInux EGL until there is enough demand. Even if the Linux EGL sucks, it’s still Engineering dollars being spent by Epic. Engineering dollars that would never have been spent on Linux unless the there was a requisite level of demand. Sweeney sees the writing on the wall. I’m sure there will be a lot of new to Linux gamers that come for the Linux EGL and eventually switch to Heroic.
