      EGS has some integration with UE so if you’re buying marketplace assets it’s easy to keep them updated and to add them to projects. Since UE can compile to Linux if you’re running Linux, this is a move that makes Linux a more appealing OS for game development.

      Sure, it’s all stuff you can do manually. But the sweeter you make the pot the more regular users you attract to your OS.

    I’m not interested in Epic’s malware. Nor will I install a Linux version of GOG. I don’t want that proprietary trash.

    It is a big deal. If Epic changes some API and breaks Heroic, it is your problem for using an unsupported third party application. If Epic breaks their official client, their QA manager has a problem.
