Nice, one more OS where I can choose to not use it.
You used Windows just to use Epic Games Store?
I think you read it inverse
You mean the support for Linux is a bad thing and he chooses not to use Linux anymore? (whereas Linux isn’t even an operating system, but blabla) If that is the case, I don’t get the logic why.
Bruh, he’s saying he doesn’t use EGS on any platform.
Alright so I’m stupid. I read it as “one more OS I can choose not to use the OS”, which is clearly not what he said. Man, I don’t know… Sorry for misunderstanding. Will leave my replies here for the lolz.
Appreciate you. You gave me a laugh and it was good!

Bring back the Rocket League Linux client or eat a fucking dick, Epic.
Some folks forget Rocket League had a perfectly running Linux version of the game UP UNTIL Epic bought it and shitcanned the Linux version.
Doesn’t it work flawlessly via proton?
I wouldn’t know when they dropped the Linux client was the day I dumped the game
You could even get a full refund for your purchase. I did with 100s of hours and the original purchase being years ago.
It was gifted to me, so I’m not sure how that would work.
EDIT: Upon reflection though, it would be nice if you could refund your friends for a game they gifted you that you weren’t actually into (as long as you make sure it doesn’t hurt the friends feelings first of course)
On Steam you can, you request a refund (effectively just removing the game from your acc) and then your friend needs to request it as well for it to proceed.
They refused my refund request for Rust when they pulled Linux support. This was a few years ago though so maybe they’ve changed policies since.
It already has - Heroic works just fine.
Epic showed their true colors when their store app was caught rummaging through unrelated files and collecting Steam account data from people’s systems. (This was no surprise coming from the creators of Epic Online Services, or from a CEO like Tim Sweeney, of course.)
Their software won’t be welcome on my systems even if they do make a Linux version.
Good, now i can ignore it on Catchy OS…
…Wake me whe GoG Galaxy and MO2 gets native versions for Linux
Fellow CachyOS user (we’re like the lil’ brothers of Arch!).
While I do appreciate GoG working on their own native launcher - is there anything wrong with just using Heroic for both GoG and EGS?
Only tangentially related, but I specifically claim every single game they make freely available on multiple accounts - just in the vain effort of costing Tim Sweeney money, even though I am yet to launch even one.
Tim Sweeney is a bitch.
It’d be pretty funny if the Linux client will be actually usable unlike the windows version
Yeah, when I switched to Linux, I was amazed at how much better Heroic launcher was for Epic games than the official (Windows) Epic games launcher.
I sincerely doubt whatever they come up with for Linux will be worth it.
I guess that’s cool but Epic Games will still be at the bottom of my list of game/app stores that I use.
For context, I’ve been using a chart of game/app store with scores based on multiple categories and sorting them into a list to keep track of which ones I should be prioritizing. With on how I currently have them rated, the Epic Games Store will go from a 1/10 to a 4/10, which means that it’s still at the bottom of my list.
Where’s GOG on that chart? How would you compare it to Steam?
Both GOG and Steam are tied near the top of the list with 9/10 scores.
But I should mention that since the chart was made specifically for my own personal use, it may not be the best for public use (which is why I haven’t posted it online anywhere). If I am to have it posted anywhere, I’d want to make some adjustments like giving certain categories more weight and expanding some others, maybe even add more. I probably wont though, as I’m just one person and I know for sure that my own biases will get in the way.
Isn’t that how all good charts start out? One opinionated person makes a list of what makes sense to them and maybe attaches a methodology for how they arrived at the order or points.
In my book, GOG would be 10, but I have never purchased a game through them, so it seems they’re not perfect after all. I wanna give steam less points cuz they are only dealing in licenses, so besides Gabe & SteamOS, they feel no better than Epic.
So maybe Steam is a 7 for me, and GOG is only ideally a 10, but in reality I paid them as much as I have Epic ($0).
I’ve done it. I’ve create my website and finished creating the page dedicated to game and app stores. It took longer than I was expecting but it’s in a good enough shape that I can fix any issues with it and add some more stuff to it tomorrow. I’ve also changed how I rated every app store, GOG is now 13/15 and Steam is 12.5/15. Here’s the link to the home page. I’m going to bed now.
Eat a dick, Tim Sweeney.

I always laughed at this. The difference here Tim is you can VOTE and make your voice heard with the US and democracy. Microsoft has a monopoly. They don’t care as long as they get enough users to buy in, it’s financially viable to them and they force it on everyone. But hey, what do I know, I’ve been a Linux user since 2007 and I’ve been SHOCKED at what people would put up with on their PC and Microsoft’s Windows.
Last time I checked a few years back it was impossible to put multiple items to the shopping cart, leave a review or get community help with a game.
Is the game store good now?
Nope. Still no reviews, still filled with crypto stuff, janky AF, etc
“The digital distribution storefront equivalent of cancer thinking about moving to Linux”.
Can’t wait to get 20 Fortnite ads. And then an error message that Fortnite doesn’t run on Linux.
It won’t be as good as Heroic so who cares?
Well, when something like Alan Wake II comes around, the problem for me is that I have no guarantee from the seller that it will continue to work on my operating system. If I’m an officially supported customer, I have some recourse if they push an update that breaks compatibility for me.
I don’t think a Linux client for EGS necessarily means they’re going to support Windows games via WINE. You’ll just receive support for purchasing games.
Is the windows version worth using yet?
Or is it still just a store tacked on to the unreal engine launcher?
A year or so ago they added a cart so you could check out with more than one item at a time. That’s about it.
