  What about something like Heroic Game Launcher? I’m not advocating for Epic, just pointing out that alternatives exist.

    So to compensate for a poor service that is epic game launcher you have to turn to oss solution maintained by the community thanklessly while still giving epic the 25% cut of your sale? I’d rather not give epic any money at all

      As I previously said, I don’t advocate for buying from Epic. But if it happens that you have some games from their Store (for whatever reason, like ones you got for free) there are alternatives to their client.

      You add the game in Heroic, and it has a menu option to add the game to Steam. There’s another setting that will do this automatically, once the game is installed.

    I use playknight, though I still don’t buy from epic.

    Play knight gives me an overview of all humble keys I haven’t used as well as gog, steam, epic, etc.

    Just helps me make sure I don’t buy a game on sale that I own

      Playnite? I would love to use it if it would support Linux.

        It looks like Linux support is going to be actually actively looked at again soon with playnite 11, so there is still hope
