Do not use this. Do not install EGS or GOG on your device.
Use Heroic Games Launcher.
Heroic is great, but this does have a useful place. In addition to epic and gog, this also supports:
And it makes it easy to make native looking web apps for the following:
Finally it imports games installed through the different app stores to make them appear like native apps.
The remote play together integration is great too, because that will easily let you play local multiplayer games online regardless of what store they come from. That alone might make it worth using over heroic for party-style games from epic.
Heroic also supports Amazon games, doesn't it?
Yes
Oh thanks for that additional context. I don't use anything but Steam and GoG but that's good to know.
Really wish people would stop adding support for EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, etc. but I appreciate the effort regardless.
Uh, what?
...did you have a question?
Yeah, I wanted you to elaborate on that statement 'cause it doesn't make any sense.
All of those companies are cancers on the gaming industry and no one should be buying them, much less going out of their way to make them available on more platforms.
Why do you think they shouldn't add support for them?
Junk Store works well too
Why not? Does the steam deck not work with those?
Because those launchers are bloated pieces of crap and HGL can access them with a better, lighter interface, and with more options.
Bloated in what way? Like game wise? I have Steam, EGS , and GoG and they all run just as smooth as the next
