"We don't have enough developers to support Linux!"
- Tim Sweeney promptly fires 700 developers
Completely unrelated, but what’s the game in the header image?
This from the man who thinks he's "competing" with Valve?
Valve is figuring out how to run games they didn't even develop on Linux, while Epic complains it's too hard to do for even their own games...
That's rich.

Fuck Tim Sweeney and fuck Epic. Apparently selling a game that already works with Linux and even Windows is too much him.
Why is a 2 year old article being posted now?
Good call out. So rage bait here has hit lemmy
Maybe there should be a feature that warns us if the article is more then 6 months old. Our maybe a bot could do it.

Lmfao SO many games that were never meant to run on Linux work perfectly well on my machine, some better than windows. He's just throwing a hissy fit because Linux won't allow kernel level malware - I mean anti-cheat. What a dickhead. Apex is a better game anyway.
variety of incompatible configurations
Steam Linux Runtime is a stable "configuration" across all distributions. That's its entire point.
In no way shocked about that one. Sweeney aint gonna help the competition.
It's not that hard to make a game run on Linux thoses days, they're just lazy ass
Linux users are not your audience. Owners of the Steam Deck are. I'd wager the vast majority of Deck users do not have a computer that runs Linux. You don't really need to know how to do anything in Linux even in desktop mode. The environment is so similar to mac and windows for most tasks.
He's just pissy about the idea of designing anything that would benefit Steam; the heavyweight he has tried and failed to emulate.
Sweeney generally has a hate boner for Linux. It's nothing really new.

Tim Sweeney is a terrifically hard person to get to fuck off.
Tim refuses to stop shooting himself in the foot against Valve. More news at 11
