Epic published the game, gonna be a long wait. It will come to steam when epic gives up the storefront dream, which is to say never.

I can wait. I got plenty to play. Even Xbox and Playstation are publishing their exclusives on good platforms now. Origin caved. I can wait a decade+ for Todd or Tim or whatever his name is to run out of fortnite money, lol.

For the most gamers I know games are available on Steam or the high seas, especially for me that use Linux so Epic games are not officially available, every game that only releases on Epic for me it's a "too bad, I would have bought it"

Yup, I've never spent a dime at Epic because they don't support Linux. I've bought games from Steam, Humble, and GOG because they do, and I spend far more on Steam because they support Linux better than the other two.

It's pretty simple for me, if it's easy to get on Linux, I'll buy it. If not, I won't.
