Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers

Steam gets all my gaming budget, as I really try to stick to Linux.

If it ain't on steam, I don't play it, and they don't get my money.

It’s sad to me that you and many others have this opinion, which is fine, but Valve takes a significant tax from small companies while gamers, a cheap demographic, complain about the price of games.

Games don’t need to be on Steam to be good.

The issue kinda is on Linux we’re playing windows games. There is significant work done by valve on that proton compatability layer, so a lot of people on Linux want to support that. Without that us Linux users have a lot harder time gaming.

There are some other launchers for epic games and gog (heroic game launcher I’ve used). It worked for me for a the couple games I tried (gloomhaven and disco elysium) but I’m using the proton wine I which I think was put out there by valve/steam.

I would never support Epic as Sweeney is openly hostile towards Linux.

He’s openly hostile to gamers. If anyone thinks he does what he does for gamers and companies you would be a fool. He’s only trying to steal market share to line his own pockets. He can’t even compete with a quality product. Epic game store is probably the worst store to exist.
