I don't understand - epic deliberately chooses to avoid the most open platform (Linux) and yet they don't like being wall gardened? Quite ironic

- fareesh 6y agoYou are framing the issue with one variable only (openness of platform) There are a multitude of variables to consider before deciding to release a product on a particular platform.
- bob1029 6y agoEpic's reasons for avoiding Linux are substantially different from their reasons for circumventing Apple's restrictions. See examples such as: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18845205 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18845205 I do not think the irony holds in this case.
- lousken 6y agoIf this was true why would Steam even bother? Secondly, Nvidia and AMD both invested tons of money into fixes for games in their drivers for windows and it just shows. Also epic is spending money left and right, why couldn't they invest into the platform just like steam? And even with that little investment steam put into linux(compared to windows) it shows a really good potential.
