Epic Games recently did an AMA (Ask me anything) in the community Discord server, confirming that a Linux / SteamOS version of the Epic Games Store is coming.
Well, when something like Alan Wake II comes around, the problem for me is that I have no guarantee from the seller that it will continue to work on my operating system. If I’m an officially supported customer, I have some recourse if they push an update that breaks compatibility for me.
I don’t think a Linux client for EGS necessarily means they’re going to support Windows games via WINE. You’ll just receive support for purchasing games.
It won’t be as good as Heroic so who cares?
