The Epic Store isn't supported on Linux. When they turn existing games on Steam into Epic store exclusives I can't play the games I have purchased.

I fail to see the contradiction. Per Steam’s October 2019 user survey, all Linux distros together total 0.43% of their users. I am using the notably pro-Linux Steam as a benchmark for how many gamers are affected by this.


What game was released on Steam, then became an Epic store exclusive and stopped being playable on Steam?


Rocket League. The developer was acquired by Epic, and a few months later they announced that they were dropping support for Linux and OSX. Epic has previously stated that their platform will never be available on Linux.
