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 supports third party launchers

I think Steam is the only platform I avoid that works on Linux

Why would you avoid steam 😂

It is popular for a reason and Linux on desktop would be even more dead if it wasn't for them (and proton)

Proton’s help is anticheat

I was using linux before, I can use it after

And though I already said why I avoid it. It doesn’t adhere to Unix philosophy. Does it want to he a store? launcher? download manager? Mod repo? Community site? Chat program?

It should pick one and let someone else do another

I take it you're not a fan of Systemd

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 hours ago

Not particularly

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Can't you add it to Heroic Launcher?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

No, but you can add their games to steam
