    Marketshare, and you have to remember the difference between platform and store. If Epic made them exclusive to the Epic Machine™ then there would be a problem but moving from Steam to Epic doesn’t remove Windows support.

    Imagine Target bought Great Value (Walmart brand) and moved it from Walmart to target. Would anyone care?

      It does remove easy Linux compatibility. Also you can run any storefront on steam deck, so not sure what your point is about hardware

        A hypothetical Epic console.

        Heroic gives Linux support and has the added benefit of being third party.
