      Heroic is great, but this does have a useful place. In addition to epic and gog, this also supports:

      • Amazon Games Launcher ✔️
      • Battle.net ✔️
      • EA App ✔️
      • Epic Games ✔️
      • GOG Galaxy ✔️
      • Humble Games Collection ✔️
      • IndieGala ✔️
      • Itch.io ✔️
      • Legacy Games ✔️
      • Rockstar Games Launcher ✔️
      • Ubisoft Connect ✔️
      • Glyph ✔️
      • Playstation Plus ✔️
      • VK Play ✔️

      And it makes it easy to make native looking web apps for the following:

      • Website Shortcut Creator ✔️
      • Xbox Game Pass ✔️
      • GeForce Now ✔️
      • Amazon Luna ✔️
      • Netflix ✔️
      • Amazon Prime Video ✔️
      • Disney+ ✔️
      • Hulu ✔️
      • Youtube ✔️
      • Twitch ✔️
      • movie-web ✔️

      Finally it imports games installed through the different app stores to make them appear like native apps.

      The remote play together integration is great too, because that will easily let you play local multiplayer games online regardless of what store they come from. That alone might make it worth using over heroic for party-style games from epic.

        Because those launchers are bloated pieces of crap and HGL can access them with a better, lighter interface, and with more options.

          Bloated in what way? Like game wise? I have Steam, EGS , and GoG and they all run just as smooth as the next
