I think they probably mean having a launcher that installs on Linux and games that don't need tweaking to run on Linux. Like Steam does it.
Another excellent point.
Heroic already fills the first part
Heroic is not made by Epic. We're talking about first class first-party support. And Heroic doesn't work very well either.
We don’t want first party support
Stores are stores
Launchers are launchers
Communities are communities
Software works when it is specialized and leaves open for others to build on
"We" very much do. I have no interest in spending my days debugging broken software.
Then you wouldn’t like steam on linux after various updates
Steam on Linux works perfectly.
What’s the cat in the hat line? You’re not just wrong, you’re stupid

Not every issue is on Valve but saying it’s perfect just shows you haven’t used it
And you certainly didn’t use it back when the file dialogue couldn’t view outside the steam directory
Well that's unnecessarily fucking rude.
What I meant was, it works perfectly for me.
...I don't understand what that has to do with anything. I don't play games in the past.
You would know it’s imperfect
I apologize for being rude and now you have a resource to use when something goes wrong
