Heroic is great, but this does have a useful place. In addition to epic and gog, this also supports:

  • Amazon Games Launcher ✔️
  • Battle.net ✔️
  • EA App ✔️
  • Epic Games ✔️
  • GOG Galaxy ✔️
  • Humble Games Collection ✔️
  • IndieGala ✔️
  • Itch.io ✔️
  • Legacy Games ✔️
  • Rockstar Games Launcher ✔️
  • Ubisoft Connect ✔️
  • Glyph ✔️
  • Playstation Plus ✔️
  • VK Play ✔️

And it makes it easy to make native looking web apps for the following:

  • Website Shortcut Creator ✔️
  • Xbox Game Pass ✔️
  • GeForce Now ✔️
  • Amazon Luna ✔️
  • Netflix ✔️
  • Amazon Prime Video ✔️
  • Disney+ ✔️
  • Hulu ✔️
  • Youtube ✔️
  • Twitch ✔️
  • movie-web ✔️

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?

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?

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.

[–] Woozythebear@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Why do you think they shouldn't add support for them?
