      I think there are alternative FOSS launchers that you can use if the issue is the launcher itself. On the deck I use Heroic, I think there are also for windows.

          In that case, consider they have to pay for every download of free games (at least server costs) ;)

          In some ways, yes absolutely agreed. But on the other hand, love that they’re going against Google Play Store atm, even won in court just now.

            Evil fighting evil for more power. I’m not holding my breath for any meaningful positive changes.

              Yep, only reason Epic sued Google is because they want more money. I think Tim Sweeney was even quoted that they’d make billions from it.

      I find it’s a good way to demo games. Get it free, if I like it enough after a few hours I’ll go buy it on GoG or Steam and continue to play it on there.
