I'm not a gamer so I'm entirely ignorant of the situation. What's the root of your objection? The games are proprietary, right? So I figure it's not a Stallmanesque position. Is it a big problem to run games on Windows?
I don't have a Windows install anymore and won't set it up just for one game. Furthermore Epic Games has a history of acquiring studios and them crippling Linux support on games that were already purchased. I have a long list of games that I happily play on Linux with no issues.
Well, that's easy for a Rust binary. But they don't put any effort into having a great UX for Linux devs with Unreal Engine, for example. It barely works on Linux and is almost impossible to run under Wayland.

They are so anti linux that they ship a linux version of Lore.

They also buy studios and then kill Linux support when it was already working just fine.

He straight up makes fun of Linux because he hates Valve and GabeN.
