Playnite on Windows is the premiere experience for multilauncher support. Highly customizable, and it has a UX that’s much better to lay-users than something like Gog Galaxy 2.0. Integrations are well QA’d and updated. It’s wild that this was built as a FLOSS project because it’s better than what billion dollar companies have done by a mile.
Comment on Epic is giving away 17 games as part of its holiday sale
Railcar8095@lemm.ee 11 months agoI think there are alternative FOSS launchers that you can use if the issue is the launcher itself. On the deck I use Heroic, I think there are also for windows.

My only gripe with Playnite is how inconsistent feature support is in themes. You want to see your achievements? This theme has support, but it won’t show data from How Long To Beat. This theme supports both, but cannot show console icons for emulated games… Hopefully this will change when version 11 is out next year, with more features from plugins being moved to core.

It's the general business scumminess towards consumers. I want Epic to fail for it.

In some ways, yes absolutely agreed. But on the other hand, love that they’re going against Google Play Store atm, even won in court just now.

Evil fighting evil for more power. I'm not holding my breath for any meaningful positive changes.

Yep, only reason Epic sued Google is because they want more money. I think Tim Sweeney was even quoted that they’d make billions from it.

In that case, consider they have to pay for every download of free games (at least server costs) ;)
