Epic (the game engine and middleware developer) and Epic Store (the one that sells games) seems to have different priorities. Customers of Epic game engines and middlewares want linux supports, so they provide it. Meanwhile, Epic Store don't want the burden of maintaining linux ports for their games, so they remove supports for linux in games they acquired.
