Doing good with one hand doesn't excuse using the other to smother FOSS progress. No matter how humble you are materially, or reasonable in local policy, that doesn't mean he is right in the many bullshit stances he's dug himself into where the games industry is concerned. He does have a point in some places, but holy shit is it hard to take him seriously when half the shit he gripes about other companies doing, Epic does too. And that's before we talk about the scummy BS only Epic does.

Epic has donated a sizable amount to fund Godot Engine, and other FOSS projects. UE4 and UE5 can both be built from source to run on Linux natively. They are not smothering FOSS or Linux.
