Note

Epic bought Easy and made the Linux version for it. It’s there because of them

The issues are likely development related not anti-cheat

It could be that, or they just really know their community. If the cost of getting it working on steam deck and maintaining it is not substantially less than the income brought from the platform It doesn't make any sense to utilize the platform.

It’s the same thing basically, you could have unlimited devs if cost wasn’t an issue

But they have 9 platforms already that all have to work together and every feature has to work on before release so it’s a lot of work.

Like the last line says, they want the user base to be big enough for them to support it
