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 would have bought it if it hadn’t been an Epic exclusive. Maybe when it releases on Steam.
Agreed. I loved the first but I’m not going to install epic for one game
What about something like Heroic Game Launcher? I’m not advocating for Epic, just pointing out that alternatives exist.

I primarily play on TV and VR so big picture is already my interface of choice
Edit: does it even support Steam? They’re not advertising it on the FAQ:

That makes sense 👀 how’s that thumbnail db looking nowadays
SteamGridDB? Fantastic, especially now that the Steam Deck is part of the ecosystem!
I’m sure there are many who share that sentiment. I tend to forget games even exist if they’re Epic exclusive.
I’ll wait for the GOG release, I have Control there already.
Do you think this one will be there too, with tencent in the picture?
I have to assume they did the math and concluded an epic exclusive was still the more lucrative option.
I don’t particularly hate epic,but ~90% of my games are on steam,so I don’t really install the rest cause I don’t need to.
that being said,I will buy it when and if it comes to steam. if not,oh well…
I doubt it will since Epic is the publisher…
Rich dudes got a pissing match… although Gabe did no wrong!
Epic CEO is just salty he didn’t come up with the Steam Deck concept first.
