  $ ./EpicInstaller-15.17.1.msi 
  bash: ./EpicInstaller-15.17.1.msi: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
Turns out Epic doesn't work on my platform of choice. Apparently it does affect me. Certainly.


Neither does steam on my opened router. This is a nonsensical argument.


No it isn't. I can play lots of games on my machine. I can't play, specifically, Alan Wake 2, since it's unavailable for purchase either standalone or an a platform that supports Linux.

Of course it's their choice where to release it, but saying, specifically, that it doesn't affect any consumer is just plain wrong.
