For the others are other launchers like..I forgot, I only have crap on gog and epic anyway ๐Ÿ˜

Heroic Launcher is pretty good. It can sync GoG cloud saves and launch games with Proton-GE or any wine environment you prefer. Cyberpunk 77 runs great.

Yeah I've tried it, just because, and it felt like playnite on win, just faster ๐Ÿ˜ But so far, I have nothing on gog or epic that I wouldn't have in steam, also. But glad to have options for sure.

The day of steam's downfall might come.

But glad to have options for sure.

Amen to that.

Why would I need to have a 3rd party "launcher"?

Thats like saying I have 5o have an app store to get software

[โ€“] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

You wouldn't NEED one. But why would you want to browse different libraries of games manually and install "by hand" if there's some simple launcher? Like steam, gog galaxy or playnite for win. Doesn't mean you couldn't. I also install a lot of cracked games to playtest. With mods and cheatengine and whatnot. Don't even notice it's not windows.

BTW: On your phone you don't even have a choice anymore other than ONE "launcher". So...choice is good ๐Ÿ˜Š
