The developer has to specifically allow it though. Epic themselves don't let EAC for Fortnite run on Linux because they don't trust it as much as the rootkit version that only runs Windows.

True. But then that becomes a vendor problem, and not a Linux problem.

My point is that Linux went from 0% support for any game that uses EAS, to 100% support for any game that uses (and enables) EAS. There's many more games that you can now play on Linux that you could not before.

It's almost at the point where Wine can run more games than Windows. Most games from the Win98 to early WinXP era just run fine on Wine and don't even show a title screen or glitch and flicker on Win10.
