    They don’t have to make a Linux version. Wine is a program that allows you to run windows programs on Linux. The reason it doesn’t work with fortnite is because fortnite anticheat blocks it. In order to let Linux users (including steam decks) play fortnite, they just have to change an anticheat setting not to block Wine. Fortnite uses battleye and eac, both of which have wine support

        They don’t have to support it, but it wouldn’t kill them to stop actively inhibiting it

          You’re missing the point on “works as expected “

          It not working can impact other platforms

            Eh theoretically? But if that’s the case, it’s kind of a flaw in their backend. If a buggy client can cause issues, anyone can cause issues at will
