people once again prove that the hate for epic exclusives is more about not having more than one icon to click rather than any actual consistent principle. people who defend console exclusives will still cry about this even though there is a direct purchase option.
"no, but i want all my eggs in THIS basket!"
...as you can see, if you buy from dev's website you get to buy the advertised Linux's version. A Dev that publish exclusively on Epic store is de facto forced to trash away any additional Linux support they may have put into.
Basically, if a Dev support Linux, the time they go exclusively on Epic became essentially windows-only.
