It's not just greedy, at this point it's blatant. The release itself was already bonkers, but they could have saved things by working hard on the base game and releasing additional free content.

I'm not commenting on the Linux stuff itself. But the idea that Epic sued Google because they "dislike Linux" doesn't make sense on two levels:

It will spy on your preparation. Make a plan. Make at least 7 alternative plans, each with contingencies for all your preparation. That's the horses advantage - bigger head means more space to store plans.
Of course it might get spooked by a leaf and fucking die for no reason. You never know. You can't know. That's what makes them so dangerous. To you, and to themselves.
Maybe, but this goes much further. This is a president of the United States literally declaring himself not to be duty-bound to the constitution, the one document that limits their power.
This kind of decision is not made by marketing.
Protest against genocide? Straight to genocide. Be against genocide? Believe it or not, straight to genocide.
