    I strongly dislike Epic as a company, but at least Heroic Games Launcher makes the experience tolerable. And free is free, but for anything paid, I’m always willing to pay extra to own on Steam/GOG instead

      If you’re concerned about free games just pirate them. Same price and none of the Epic.

          If you’re concerned about getting something for free instead of paying for it, pirate it.

          Piracy isn’t theft, it is copyright infringement.

      does HGL require the other game launchers to be installed or is it standalone? I’d rather not install epic launcher.

        No, I’ve refused to install the Epic launcher but I’ve been able to install games I claimed through the website. Even been able to get them on my Steam Deck with a bit of work in desktop mode

      I regret buying RDR2 there… It’s the only game I will ever buy there. But I got over 300 games there now so I cannot really complain 🤣

        Same, i brought GoW and refund it after a day. Luckily i found a good deal for a Steam key later.
