Researching and Implementing a launcher by looking at a more or less locked black box takes time, a lot of time and effort and when i look at Heroic progress is slow (but steady). I see lots of people asking for new platforms to be supported but the current ones aren't even done. No social stuff, no playtime tracking no achievements and just a couple of people.

While i'd love to have a swiss army knife, the one to rule them all launcher, without a huge increase in people that actually do the work, i don't see this happen anytime soon ;)

I wonder how difficult it would be to use Linux on this device.
I am sure people will bring steam OS to it eventually.

I wonder why I should choose this one over the others?
A comparison table might make sense in the future.

Quoting: Torqachuwould it be possible to implement dgvoodoo2 and wine 32bit prefixes?

Wine is doing 32 over 64 mostly these days, do you still need 32bit dedicated prefixes then?

There is also the possibility of social functions, playtime tracking and multiplayer for gog games in future releases of heroic.
Haven't seen that in minigalaxy yet.

Heroic works directly with Upstream servers so it uses less resources and is more powerful in the end.

I think this will become more apparent in the future when more platforms are supported like the promised amazon games support

It is not a device where you run ultra high details and 8k resolution with 200fps. You don't have to.
That is something a full blown and specced desktop monster for a couple hundreds and thousands will do for you.

It is absolutely fine for a few years to come while the technology advances and we get things like

Quoting: ShmerlOh, nice to see Freelancer is supported.

A Freelancer remake with high polygon models and high res textures would be awesome :)
