So many people complain about epic and it's launcher. Yeah, it's not great but it works just fine and with all the free games you can claim, it's just crazy not to have a account for it.
Every week 1 to 2 games to claim and in December for like 2 weeks straight you get extra games to claim.
Who cares it's a repeat or a less good game, it's free. Try it out and maybe you'll find your next favorite game!
And if you're not interested in having their launcher on your system, there's an open source alternative called Heroic.
Is it a launcher-launcher like Playnite and GOG? Is it better?
It's a third-party launcher for Epic, GoG and Amazon. It's way less resource heavy than GoG or Epic and better in terms of privacy.
You can use it on windows? I'm using it on my steam deck to have access to prime, gog and epic.
It looks like a good alternative.
Yeah, works perfectly fine on Windows.

I totally agree. After all this time the store is still lacking very heavily.
I'm going to give the heroic client a try, works great on my steam deck.
I would just make a account and claim the free games through the website, their always on the frontpage to claim.
But to each their own ofcourse.
You can use heroic, it is pretty good and supports epic, gog and amazon games, also setups proton/wine for you if you are not on win
Does it support Steam? Only launcher I want gone.
I fully agree. There was some controversy about exclusives, and I get it, but the drama was completely disproportional to the issue. It turns out that console fanboys have evolved into launcher fanboys. I'm grateful for free games and an amazing games engine.
You should look up what happened with Ooblets.
I remember reading that post and yeah it read like someone talking down to a child. Do they deserve the hate? No but they did their best to attract it.
Ah, I see, you're a moron.
Looks like you're a moron, if you stand by the harrassment, death threats, racism and sexism.
I never said I stood by that shit, just that I stood against what the dev did. Conversely, it'll be much harder for you to claim you're not standing by the dev's actions, since everything he did came directly from him.
How about the way he told people who had already paid him, who funded the development of the entire fucking game for years that he "owes them nothing," despite the fact that he would be literally nowhere without them?
What about how he said that his own supporters and customers no longer being able to access the game that they funded and paid for is "not his problem?"
How about my favorite quote from the dev: "gamers deserve the gas chamber."So, good to know you support a cruel, scamming,
antisemiticscumbag.🖕Edit: The quote was fabricated, as it turns out. The rest was not.
Nobody lost access to the game. They just had to click a different icon to launch it. That's it. That was the whole "controversy".
Calling someone a moron and Nazi for not joining a temper tantrum over something so utterly inconsequential is psychopath behavior.
Did you seriously make an alt just to make this ignorant, lie-filled reply? You're a god damned loser on top of being a moron. How about before being this big of a sweaty dipshit in the future, you try ACTUALLY READING WHAT YOURE REPLYING TO.
Edit: To address your insane ignorance, yes, people who gave them money did fucking lose access to it. They had supporters in countries where EGS didn't do service at the time who lost access entirely. One such user is who I saw receive the "Not our problem," reply.
You're grasping at straws, claiming different people to be sock puppets, posing strawman arguments and spouting gamergate level conspiracy bullshit.
You are the problem.
