It would be cool if people joined the incredible taskforce that heroic has to bring more goodies like Battle.net, EA, Ubi or MS Game Pass to the people on Linux and the Steam Deck

Quoting: mr-victoryParadox has already a Linux launcher, the 2nd version.
Then we can skip that and go directly to various other secondary and primary stage launchers.

Quoting: XpanderCan we please have less launchers in 2023! thanks

i would stress the fact that we need them to be optional and less intrusive so they don't break the user experience on hardware like the steam deck.

I don't like the outlook of everything being released on one store only like Steam.
Monopoly isn't good for the enduser.

On the bright side, i am sure that the Heroic Launcher Team will be trying to make this easier for users like Lutris Playnite and Gamehub already do in a different way.

Heroic Games Launcher for GOG and Epic Games v2.5.0 Beta 3 out now

Quoting: PlintslîchoI was wondering if it is possible to only download games and don't have them installed automatically.

Heroic and its gogdl doesn't use the standalone installers but downloads the game files directly.
You want something like https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc or MiniGalaxy.

Quoting: pbGotta love the naming of these OSS alternatives.
You can't use the same name or the publisher might get angry but there still needs to be some kind of hint what the application should be used for :)
