Quoting: Torqachuwould it be possible to implement dgvoodoo2 and wine 32bit prefixes?
Wine is doing 32 over 64 mostly these days, do you still need 32bit dedicated prefixes then?

There is also the possibility of social functions, playtime tracking and multiplayer for gog games in future releases of heroic.
Haven't seen that in minigalaxy yet.

Heroic works directly with Upstream servers so it uses less resources and is more powerful in the end.

I think this will become more apparent in the future when more platforms are supported like the promised amazon games support

It is not a device where you run ultra high details and 8k resolution with 200fps. You don't have to.
That is something a full blown and specced desktop monster for a couple hundreds and thousands will do for you.

Lutris 0.5.13 Beta adds Proton support, itch.io integration, Battle.net integration

Quoting: hardpenguinSomeone is putting up a fight against Heroic 😁
Every project has a different approach.
Being independent from upstream launchers is more powerful and more efficient but means lots of hours (unpaid^^) to work on creating documentation and testing it against a blackbox and if the platform owner decides to change things, you need to do it again.

Lutris a bit more robust against upstream changes and can implement new things faster.
I wouldn't say fight.

https://github.com/itchio/butler [External Link] & https://github.com/itchio/itch [External Link] are there so i guess, integration is just a matter of time and a person dedicating some hours to that.
