Alan Wake II is Remedy's Entertainment fastest selling game, but still hasn't recouped development and marketing expenses.

    What about something like Heroic Game Launcher? I’m not advocating for Epic, just pointing out that alternatives exist.

      So to compensate for a poor service that is epic game launcher you have to turn to oss solution maintained by the community thanklessly while still giving epic the 25% cut of your sale? I’d rather not give epic any money at all

        As I previously said, I don’t advocate for buying from Epic. But if it happens that you have some games from their Store (for whatever reason, like ones you got for free) there are alternatives to their client.

      I primarily play on TV and VR so big picture is already my interface of choice

      Edit: does it even support Steam? They’re not advertising it on the FAQ:

      Support for launching games from the Epic Games Store and GOG

        You add the game in Heroic, and it has a menu option to add the game to Steam. There’s another setting that will do this automatically, once the game is installed.

            SteamGridDB? Fantastic, especially now that the Steam Deck is part of the ecosystem!

      I use playknight, though I still don’t buy from epic.

      Play knight gives me an overview of all humble keys I haven’t used as well as gog, steam, epic, etc.

      Just helps me make sure I don’t buy a game on sale that I own

        Playnite? I would love to use it if it would support Linux.

          It looks like Linux support is going to be actually actively looked at again soon with playnite 11, so there is still hope
