Not to mention "stick it to 'em" when he's doing exactly what Epic hoped for — engaging with their platform. It doesn't even matter if you're using Hero Launcher or not even playing it, it's a +1 in their system and that's what they care about.
I mean if you're going to be like that, you don't own any software.
exactly
I have 367 games in my Epic library. A few of them are f2p (e.g. Fortnite) but the majority are giveaways. The only game I've purchased on EGS is Alan Wake 2 due to exclusivity
I got the tomb raider games and the screaming baby package delivery hideo Kojima game I can't remember the name of right now, and some stuff I've never played, and that's it. Worth it.
Death Stranding. Good game, I bought it on steam on discount and it's great.
It gave me a new way to look at things, like good art does.
Yeah, but then you'd need the epic store/launcher, so...
There is legendary which is command line and Heroic which is legendary with gui without telemetry from epic. Heroic also does gog but gog doesnt require a launcher anyways.
Funfact, I have restricted work computer (windows). Certain websites are blocked and installing anything requires remote access by IT to enter admin password (they dont give admin rights temporarily). But it has pip installed.
- pip install legendary
- legendary install app-name
- legendary run app-name
You can also create a shortcut and set the target as 'legendary run app-name'. I also have over 300 games I collected from epic. I don't condone gaming on work time, but it feels nice I can run something other than browser games during compiling and other downtime.
