Personally I think it’s funnier that he claimed that steam just does not have the user base to justify it. As if he is in complete denial, because he probably fucking is.
Tbf the mobile userbase is the biggest gaming userbase in the world. I know a couple people in my life who only play games on their phones and have zero interest in conventional gaming.
So is the Nintendo switch, Epic released fortnite on every imaginable platform, including my samsung smartfridge, so let’s be honest, the only real reason is that supporting the steam deck is directly supporting the store front they’re trying to go against, otherwise the dozen or so million desktop Linux+Deck gamers would have been acknowledged by Epic long ago.
just thought I’d come in and say that those fridges run Tizen, which is based on the Linux kernel. It’s pretty far from android in everything but aesthetic
He’s not in denial, he’s covering up the real reason. IMO based on how Epic tends to operate, I think it’s actually because Linux is a lot more hackable than Windows and has tons more avenues for defeating anticheat and especially for bypassing DRM, which is a dealbreaker for a corporation trying to extract as much money and data from the game as possible. Can’t have you doing dances when you haven’t bought the vbucks after all.

The steamdeck userbase is lower than the mobile/console userbase

Filthy casuals
Eh it’s fine bud. At the very least those people now understand a bit more about other gamers and why we do what we do.

Also Android uses the Linux kernel
