The Epic Games Store doesn't have a Linux client, so it's understandable from a business perspective to not develop a product no new customers will be able to buy.

It's a middle finger to existing customers though, especially with the outdated Linux version being downloaded by default. They should prioritize proton to enable online play on multiplayer game, but as established, they don't care about Steam Linux users

We already have Heroic/Legendary Games Launcher, and Lutris too.

Yes, those launchers are great. But I don't think Epic will ever acknowledge third-party clients exist, so their existence makes no difference from their perspective.

Ofc not. They have shriveled dick syndrome and hate consumer freedom.
