    I made an Epic account years ago for the freebies. I’m not sure, but I’d bet I never played a single one.

      If you claimed all of them you’ve got some seriously great games in there… Control, Subnautica, Alien Isolation, all the Tomb Raider games, Evil Within…

      Same. I even played some of them. Still never gave them a red cent because their launcher is an offense to all mankind.

      The curseforge launcher is the worst launcher I’ve ever used. Best launcher imo is PolyMC, it’s a fork of MultiMC that adds a bunch of really nice features like being able to download mods directly from the launcher.

    Dont buy games from AAA publishers and you mostly have steam or GOG.

    Better yet. Buy them from Itch.io directly, since indies are better anyway.

        Which is absolutely a must if you have a huge library across multiple platforms. How else will I find out if that indie gem in the latest Humble Bundle is already in the library somewhere?

        Joking aside, Playnite is especially awesome if you like admiring a collection in gallery view. The “sorting title” feature is exactly what we need in a day and age where publishers don’t give a fuck about proper naming schemes.

        They be like:

        • Game
        • Game II - Electric Boogaloo
        • Game 3: Definition of Insanity
        • Game™, the Return of Shenanigans
        • Game V; “Definitely the Last One”™

        I just want my collection displayed in the proper order, stop that shit!

    It has been ages since I played something on PC (I don’t have a gaming one) but that is crazy to me lol.

    Is it not possible to just put the .exe files into the desktop (not shortcuts).

      Absolutely hated it when I was forced to use it. Nowadays I don’t mind that much anymore. But if a game needs to launch another launcher first, that drives me crazy.
      Looking at you, EA and Ubishit.
