You wouldn’t NEED one. But why would you want to browse different libraries of games manually and install “by hand” if there’s some simple launcher?
Like steam, gog galaxy or playnite for win.
Doesn’t mean you couldn’t.
I also install a lot of cracked games to playtest. With mods and cheatengine and whatnot. Don’t even notice it’s not windows.
BTW: On your phone you don’t even have a choice anymore other than ONE “launcher”. So…choice is good 😊
Heroic Launcher is pretty good. It can sync GoG cloud saves and launch games with Proton-GE or any wine environment you prefer. Cyberpunk 77 runs great.
Yeah I’ve tried it, just because, and it felt like gamenite on win, just faster 😁
But so far, I have nothing on gog or epic that I wouldn’t have in steam, also.
But glad to have options for sure.
The interface for getting it set up is still worse if you’re not using Steam. But I agree it is way way way more viable than it was even 3 years ago.
For the others are other launchers like…I forgot, I only have crap on gog and epic anyway 😁
Why would I need to have a 3rd party “launcher”?
Thats like saying I have 5o have an app store to get software

The day of steam’s downfall might come.
Amen to that.
