Quoting: tpauthey write their own code that interacts with the original servers.

Not to diminish their great work in any way, but it's Legendary and GOGDL doing most of the heavy lifting of "interacting with the original servers." As someone else pointed out previously, there is a "nile" CLI tool being worked on for use with Amazon Games, and as I recall the author is a contributor to Heroic. But I've not heard of anything similar for other platforms mentioned (and some are probably harder to reverse engineer than others - I think Blizzard actively went after people who tried in the past?).

I seem to remember reading that the voice actor from previous games was returning for this one, and Wikipedia says as much:

But in the trailer, he sounds different from what I remember; is it just me?

I was a Kickstarter backer for this game, and played it a while back. Can recommend.

Quoting: fearnflavioHeroic is probably counting some DLC as well.

Sounds plausible.

Quoting: fearnflavioif they overlap we show two different cards since we treat as two different games now.
For instance, I have Absolute drift on GOG and on Epic

Ah, thanks for that example - I have the same.

Quoting: dibzHe probably suggested it because there's a working open-source client (nile) compatible with Amazon Games Store already, so Heroic just needs to add support for it.

I assume nile is this one:
https://github.com/imLinguin/nile [External Link]

Which means that "Amazon Games Store" is this:
https://gaming.amazon.com/intro [External Link]

And not this:
https://www.amazongames.com/en-us/shop [External Link]

I guess "Prime Gaming" is what became of the Twitch store when Amazon bought them. I did claim some of the free "Twitch Prime" games back before I canceled my Amazon Prime account, but never tried to use the required client to download them; I'm guessing you need to have an active membership to get anything you claimed previously.

It just keeps getting better! I was trying to figure out if I had any overlap in my libraries (i.e. the same game in both EGS and GOG), but was confounded by the counts: All Games (572), Epic Games (293), GOG (278). Somehow the total is more than the sum of the individual counts?

Crazy that EGS has given away so many games - I have never given them any money. Anyway, I was curious if, in the case of overlap, a game would be listed with dual store badges, or would get an entry for each store.

What happens when the host creature gets an itch, and rolls over to scratch all those pesky parasites on its back?

Quoting: LinasI was wondering if it makes sense to buy all those weapon / costume bundles? Do they make any difference in the single player campaign?

I was wondering the same; Hellraid looks cool, but the reviews on it are still not great. The rest of the Definitive Edition DLC all seems to be cosmetic stuff, as StalePopcorn mentioned. I don't mind picking those up super cheap, but even at an 84% discount that still adds up to more than I want to pay for skins.
