Games using Easy AntiCheat can opt in to Linux support. Arc Raiders runs on Linux (but not in VMs) whereas Fortnite does not, because Epic has chosen not to support Linux. Ironic given Tim Sweeney's supposed anti-monopoly stance.
It’s not a bad business model if he can get the courts on his side: let others spend billions and take risks, then cherry pick the successful platforms and compete with their distribution using a cost basis that doesn’t have those up-front costs and risks.
Sure. Just as long as you agree Google and Apple let others do the work and investment to develop new games, apps and media, then swoop in and demand a cut if the risk and investment pay off.
Wait until you hear about how the entire entertainment industry has always worked!
You're right, customers don't really own an iphone, even if they've paid $1000 for it.
If that's not a flawless description of a walled-garden app store, I can't imagine what would be.
Because Epic doesn’t want payhack configs to be advertised in whatever leaderboards Fortnite has, like CS2 had for a while.
This doesn't really make sense. If you are implying he is FOR monopoly, he would want the game on every possible platform right? He loses money by not having more players playing his game.
