Godot Arrives in the Epic Games Store

Legendary's frontends are great cross-platform, but especially if you're on Linux: https://github.com/Dummerle/Rare

This one uses the native Qt library and less resources than Steam.

Lutris is also an alternative. They use GTK if I'm not mistaken.

Also an excellent alternative (also for Linux initially, but now on Windows and MacOS too) is Heroic Games Launcher: https://heroicgameslauncher.com/

I started using it instead of Lutris for most of my non-Steam installs and it just works for the most part, which is fantastic. Even auto-updates my GOG and EGS games.

Heroic is built with electron. Gross!

Still faster than using the Epic Store app. The GUI is incredibly responsive

> Uses the native Qt library

It's described as a CLI in the readme you linked, so how does it use Qt?

Thanks for catching that, I updated it to link to Rare (the Legendary frontend I use)

Is there any command line launcher for both Steam and Epic Store games?
