This is good news. I want to use this post to shout out Heroic launcher.

A small team of devs (GitHub says 150 contributors, but likely only a small percentage of that consistently works on it), made a free, open-source launcher that is VASTLY better than Epic's piece of shit.

I mean, for real, this multi-billion dollar company can't even properly make a basic-ass piece of software. For over three years it has been a laggy mess that bombards the bottom right of my screen with ads. No significant changes or updates that have made the launcher more usable. I deadass pirate the games epic has given me for free so I don't have to deal with their launcher.

I've literally never used amazon games launcher but I've always redeemed the free prime games. now i can finally play them :D

Nice, I was not expecting that. This is my favorite launcher, it's sleek, fast and solid. I hope someday they add support for Itch.io and Humble so I can get all my games under one roof.

This is great news. The more supported stores the better.

Hopefully they can continue to add more stores. Maybe Humble Bundle and itch.io can be added in the future too.

I've just been trying out the git version compiled with nile support. Looking good so far!
