Please no. We have Steam, Gog, Origin, Ubisoft, Twitch and Discord game stores now. Doing a game store is not a simple thing and stores being built by those who make the games is generally anti-consumer because there is no negotiation of sales.

Epic make Fortnite and Unreal Engine. They already have their own launcher which is on tens of millions of PCs.

so does ubisoft and Blizzard. It's a gimmick that hinders useability in favor of complete control.
