Gabe at #Valve had already discovered Windows being a nightmare many, many years sooner and decided it was ridiculous to allow their eggs to solely be put into that basket - and so they spent a ton of money and resources in the following years developing #Proton so all#games on #Steam could be played on #Linux rather than just Windows.
Tim Sweeney however has been given the option to give the greenlight to allowing their (first-party) games, with anti-cheat, to be run on Linux using Proton, and decided not to. He's been spoonfed a solution at no cost, and refused it. I may agree with his recent sentiments against Microsoft and even #Apple, but make no mistake - the fella's an idiot.
I bet someone thought that selling on the most hated store on the PC realm, without physical copies, sold exclusively for current gen consoles on their exclusive storefronts, would never lead to unprofitability.
@darkghosthunter Another detail I'd add to this are the PC system requirements, which further limited the game's reach on top of the store exclusivity.
I really enjoyed Alan Wake and Control, but I couldn't run Alan Wake 2 with my hardware and I'm not about to upgrade for a single game (or even a few games).
