Epic Games Release New Information About Unreal Engine 4 & Linux Support
21 May 2014 at 6:56 am UTC

Quoting: MikeIt's so great to see news like this all the time. If someone told be 2 years ago that a company like Epic would be giving so much support to Linux, I probably would have laughed in their face, it's incredible how far things have come since the release of the Steam client.

My main concern now is that if SteamOS and Linux gaming as a whole don't take off, then all this will remain as a fad or forgotten part of history where everyone got all excited for Linux for a while. As each day goes by though and another big company is backing Linux gaming, that seems less and less likely and the prospect of Linux becoming the OS of choice for gamers is growing.
I don't think so, now we have a solid base to grow up, all major 3d engine now support Linux and this is a sign of the huge job thath Valve has done.

I think it's normal to see a worse support and something that doesen't work or have to be worked (in my personal experince i had a lot less problems playing with Linux than on Windows), 5 years ago the Gaming Linux Panorama was terrible, now we are increasing a lot and we have some aspect to fine tuning, like api, driver, wheels, mouses, keyboards support, ecc..
