It's also an anticompetitive red herring, at least for Epic.

They say they don't support Linux because it's too complicated to be worth the ROI. Really, it's that they don't want to boost a platform where Steam is far and away the default store.

This is especially relevant to note because Epic bought and owns Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) one of the currently most popular anti-cheats in AAA.

ETA: EAC still supports Linux gaming today, but the rumors remain that Epic could remove that at their whim.
