I recently discovered that I can buy, download, and launch games from my Epic Games library without having the Epic Games Bloatware even installed.
Heroic Games Launcher serves as a storefront, installer, and launcher for Epic Games, GOG, and Amazon.
This needs to be the top comment. Yes, you can use it on both Windows, Mac and Linux.
Steam Deck included!
I installed it when I got my deck earlier this week, even though I don’t have any games on Epic (yet)
NOW this is interesting. Still won't give Epic my money but I get plenty of games from Twitch for EGS.
Exe files exist in the games folder.
I'll still skip games with multiplayer for obvious reasons but this is great.
