Quoting: slaapliedjeSCREW YOU Epic! I don't see any reason to support them based on their 'we don't give a crap about Linux' attitude :)
Who's supporting them? I'm just grabbing all the free games. They haven't seen a penny of my money in almost two years.

And most of the stuff seems to be DRM-free. Or, at least, it can be launched without the Store (or Heroic) running in the background. The only game I've come across so far that can't is GTAV, and it has such a convoluted start process - run Epic, update, run the R* launcher, update again (and fail, go back to step #1) - that I've given up. It did work for a while, but meh. Easy come, easy go, although I'd be annoyed if I'd paid for it. Which is why I'm not going to buy anything on Epic's platform until there's official support.

Quoting: drlambHas anyone here used Rare [External Link]? It's a GUI for legendary as well but without electron.
Didn't know about it. But I'll give it a try.
Still, even free comes at the price of counting as one of their customers. If people just didn't sign up for it, then it would go away. Though with one or two successful games, they hoped to do what Valve did, and so far it seems to have succeeded.
-444 millions doesnt sound like success

just recommend everyone you know heroic, or as mentioned RARE for windows.. play the free games without installing the client

Quoting: KohlyKohlI will buy this as soon as I can find a 30 series card. So, I guess I'll be getting this in 2022.
in 2022 nvidia will release the 4000 series...... or they keep making money with 3000 and move the date to 2023

anyway... i wonder how much money they will make with linux/mac versions, or is this a heart project?

Quoting: NugrudHow much is it better compared to running Epic Games Store app through Lutris?
does epic already have Achievements? i dont think they work with heroic
just try it. it has an appimag, which makes it very easy do use
No. Epic Games Store and games on it doesn't have achievement support.

So why do you expect Heroic to have achievements?
i wasnt expecting anything, i was asking, because i never have installed the epic client
all i know is what i read about it like

thats months ago, so i guess some games already use it, like its shown in ARK

and again.. i dont know, i am asking.... and if its even possible to get Achievements with a 3rd party client
anyways... if you dont need Achievements heroic is way better than the epic store via lutris
