The catch is you have to install the Epic app or whatever it is called.
Also they hate Linux and shitcanned the already-existing native Linux port of Rocket League when they bought it. It's fair to say you won't dump resources into making new Linux ports but shitcanning a quality one that already existed? They can eat shit.
I never played Rocket League again after that.
You have always been able to claim the games for free on the website.
You can claim them, sure. But you'll need their launcher when you want to play them.
Heroic Launcher runs on both Windows and Linux
Third party launchers do exist, yes, but normally you'd have to use Epic's launcher. That's what they're counting on, anyway.
