Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy... and then it's only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can't it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It's so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic... which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

I recently discovered that I can buy, download, and launch games from my Epic Games library without having the Epic Games Bloatware even installed.

Heroic Games Launcher serves as a storefront, installer, and launcher for Epic Games, GOG, and Amazon.

This needs to be the top comment. Yes, you can use it on both Windows, Mac and Linux.

Steam Deck included!

I installed it when I got my deck earlier this week, even though I don’t have any games on Epic (yet)

NOW this is interesting. Still won't give Epic my money but I get plenty of games from Twitch for EGS.

Exe files exist in the games folder.

I'll still skip games with multiplayer for obvious reasons but this is great.
