Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy… and then it’s only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can’t it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It’s so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic… which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

    why people are so irked by a steam alternative

    I’m not irked by a Steam alternative. I’m irked by Epic Launcher. It’s so incredibly slow to start up.

    Also not available on much more than Windows.

      When was the last time you used it?

      Also use Heroic launcher to bypass the bloat.

        It’s been some months. I usually just game on Steam installed with flatpak on Arch Linux.

        I’ll look into Heroic. There are quite a few such solutions. Lutris or whatever, and similar. It’s a jungle to me.
