I'm voting with my wallet. Not playable on Linux, no purchase.

And since Epic is actively working against linux: No purchase if the money goes to Epic even IF it runs on Linux with lutris (or any other game launcher like heroic).

"Fuck you Nvidia"? well, also: fuck you, Epic!

Question is, once they get there, will Fortnite still be "all that"?

I have a kid that ought to be in the must-play-fortnite-24/7 age bracket, but I am hearing ineterest is waying..

Typical epic, complaining about monopolies on one side while not really trying to compete on the other

(That being said I'm all for their win against google)

gotta say, I am laughing at the 180° about face that he took. Laughing even more at the possibility of the potential boost Linux gets when it does happen.

In fairness, that’s a bit like being told you are immune to Chicken Pox. Oh no, I guess I won’t be able to lose money in Sweeney’s cartoon casino. Oh well, never mind. 🤣

There are other games with the same mechanics so it isn't a monopoly they can enforce
