they pitch a “deck that could actually play Fortnite” - game from a company who’s CEO actively hates linux for whatever reason (maybe it kicked his dog, I dunno)
Nah you see, they just don’t have enough programmers. Poor, poor small, 4000+ employee Epic :(((
“Why is Fortnite still not playable on Steam Deck?
If we only had a few more programmers. It’s the Linux problem. I love the Steam Deck hardware. Valve has done an amazing job there; I wish they would get to tens of millions of users, at which point it would actually make sense to support it.”
-Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic.

Which is funny because he’s fully aware Linux players would be happy without any support beyond “enable EAC to work for us” but he’d rather try to spin it as a difficult decision he really doesn’t want to make. Just enable it Tim, I’m sure Valve devs would put in the work to make Fortnite work well on the Deck.
