Tim Sweeney (crying): "There's no future in Linux gaming. No! Stop it! Stop enjoying the good thing that isn't from me!!!!"

Tim Sweeney being so against Linux is baffling to me.

You'd think that with Epic battling against Apple and Google's mobile ecosystems that he'd think "huh, we really shouldn't put all our eggs in the Windows basket, what with Microsoft clearly trying to go down the locked-down mobile-like route for Windows", but he doesn't. He's just relying on Microsoft's goodwill (lol). It's crazy.

Right? When it started I felt it was a lose-lose situation: I might enjoy Apple products, but I do see the need to open them up at least a bit, so them winning would not be good. Epic winning on the other hand would give Epic something to stand on to criticize the greed of the 30% cut of Apple and Google, while apparently being fine with the same for EGS or consoles…
