That’s why these days they’ve been trying to push more specialised names for units.
Marines became Intercessors, Eldar (actually from LOTR) became Aeldari, Imperial Guard became Astra Militarum, etc.

It’s basically shortened from Land’s Raider and Land’s Speeder.
Although IMO the real reason is to make the names more copyrightable. GW has been making attempts to copyright the names of things in their universe. They attempted to copyright “space marine” (IIRC) and failed. Since “Land Raider” is a generic name that anyone could use, by saying that it’s named after this character in their universe they can perhaps claim copyright. But this is just my naive opinion, I am not a copyright lawyer.
There used to be an inquisitor named Obiwan Sherlock Clouseau.
Also the vehicles Land Raider and Land Speeder are called so because they were discovered by a magos named Arkhan Land and not because they are land vehicles.
Looks like the artists name is DocksEcky

Search “valve” on this page and count the number of results, then search “epic” and compare.
I’ll respect Tim more if he supports and contributes to Linux.
Reminds me of a certain comic by Mr. E.
Like seriously what do you care? Why does it matter to you how much cut Steam or Epic take?
Personally I just don’t give a shit. I am supporting Linux gaming development, that’s all I care about.

I wonder whether the makers of Disco Elysium admired him.
Well, AC is alternative to DC. So…
What exactly is the problem with the launcher? It works fine.
TBH, I would take their stuff even if I get it for free.
