Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy... and then it's only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can't it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It's so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic... which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.
Epic games launcher is no where best as bad as anyone says. The storefront is also one of most responsive ones, especially compared to the likes of GOG.
For me, I just buy a game wherever it's cheapest. Like I got satisfactory on epic because I could get it like £15 cheaper than steam.
Like I don't understand why people are so irked by a steam alternative. It's not like it requires new hardware to play it's exclusives like with consoles. Aren't we all supposed to be against monopolies, steam needs competition, look at how shit its sales have been for like 10 years now compared to what they were like prior.
I'm not irked by a Steam alternative. I'm irked by Epic Launcher. It's so incredibly slow to start up.
Also not available on much more than Windows.
When was the last time you used it?
Also use Heroic launcher to bypass the bloat.
It's been some months. I usually just game on Steam installed with flatpak on Arch Linux.
I'll look into Heroic. There are quite a few such solutions. Lutris or whatever, and similar. It's a jungle to me.
