Hopefully more capable developers get inspired by this work and create such open source tools for the other game launchers /stores out there.

Often game sources are lost and have to be reverse engineered.
I think more Studios should publish their sources.
Although raw assets would also help to preserve and improve the original game.

Heroic Games Launcher 1.8.0 'Arlong' is out now and goes multi-platform

even if it is not possible to replace all the different launchers, it would still be nice if the ones that can be unified will be unified.
Every little bit helps.

You have a shop, an updater, an installer, social functions as baseline, maybe some statistics and achievements. That should cover 99% of these apps.

We will see how far this project gets.
Maybe some people will donate time and money to improve shop support. There is a donation page.

I think if we end up with two applications, steam and heroic, it would be already quite an achievement.

Quoting: EhvisBut we are working on the redesign first, because we want to support other stores, GOG for instance, soon. Maybe on 2.0 I expect :)
Hopefully with game stats and Plugins and achievements in the end :)

Heroic Games Launcher for Epic Games sees a small bug fix release ahead of the big 1.8

Hopefully we can find a few enthusiasts that bring in support for other platforms.
Galaxy is nice but depends a lot on the original launchers.
Having an updater that keeps priorities for downloads across multiple stores is an interesting outlook.
Getting rid of the launcher chains would be amazing.
I'll keep an eye on this project

Steam Play Proton 5.13-6 is now officially out

I hope that these fixes come to wine and wine staging too.
Using the base of proton shouldn't be a punishment for too long.

I still hope for some better graphics. Never winter still felt a bit outdated when I first looked at the new release.

Hopefully we will see more work on the dx front and the top aaa titles in the future.

Wine 5.12 is out - better RawInput and WebSocket API support
4 Jul 2020 at 1:02 pm UTC

Quoting: Avehicle7887I hope the Staging release will bring back esync/fsync support, it has been disabled for some time now and I've stuck to Wine 5.8 since some games perform better.
According to https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2020-July/169359.html [External Link]

NOTE: Currently the esync patchset has been disabled until it can be
rebased.
