Free PC games from EGS, GOG, Humble, Steam, etc.

You're an arse!
You made me go onto GOG and now i've a cart full of old shite from the final day of sales. Cheers.

Baldurs Gate Enhanced Edition is free on Prime Gaming if you somehow don't own it/missed it last time around.

Has anyone actually ever installed the Amazon Game Client or whatever it's called these days?

They'll make guaranteed money from Epic.

I love how fortnite players are paying for free games for everyone else.

So many great games we had on epic.

I haven't spent a single cent there.

I find the Epic launcher less annoying than steam, which *always* spams my screen with janky nonsense adverts (even some times a separate from the main app) and "everything and the kitchen sink" approach to functionality design. I just want something that allows me to own and play games ffs. Steam also triggers an "updating steam" dialogue box every time windows starts, while everything else can manage the mysterious black art of updating itself silently in the background.

I swear that if steam launched new today as it exists now, people would have a fucking fit about it. People have just got used it, and it *is* better than it was.

Epic launcher is fine. The only thing I dislike about it is that if you reinstall it, you can't just point it towards the old games you had installed, it seems to need to re-download them.

Gog is the gold standard. Allow me to download the game and install them. I already have a launcher. It's called windows.

I don't know, I find the Epic launcher pretty sluggish. Opening your library can take a good few seconds to load. Same goes for the store and it often only half loads. I don't have those issues with Steam, which is snappy to use.

Other niggles I have with Epic are likely more related to individual games rather than the launcher itself. Playing Cyberpunk at the moment and the cloud sync takes forever unless I delete all the saves bar the most recent couple. Literally have to wait 5+ minutes for the process to complete. Also have Battlefield 2042 on Epic and the integration with the EA app is painful and often will take multiple attempts to open the game. Again though, I expect the issue is not with the Epic launcher but with the EA one (which is a much worse app).

Not to say I think Steam is fantastic. I don't really care about the community stuff and it is pretty bloated for a system that I would rather be much more invisible, but it works fine for me.

I'm not even a Steam fanboy, but navigating the games library is far better than whatever it is that Epic does. Epic has puzzling load times everywhere, far fewer entries visible in the list at any one time (despite taking up much more screen space!), more limited and slower accessible filtering options, and so on. It's just badly designed, sluggish and annoying to use.

I have various games on epic, steam and gog. I mostly don't navigate through any of them, and use something called playnite to aggregate then all and show my games in a sensible way and allow me to play them. They all annoy me equally in various ways. Even editing the start menu in windows is more of a pain than it used to be.

I've found Playnite to be fantastic for putting stuff from all the services (Game Pass, Steam, Epic) in one place. Haven't had any problems at all TBH. Whenever I use Moonlight I launch it straight into Playnite to get easy access to all that stuff.

I also use playnite, though I'm not a big fan tbh.
For something free that people have worked on in their free time I'm not gonna complain, but i can't seem to find any skins that actually show useful information.

I should probably make my own, but in all honesty in never gonna have time and energy for that.

Gog galaxy was much nicer, until all the plugins for other services stopped working.

Big if true
