    Galaxy is a necessary convenience for them to compete with Steam tbh

      well they should make it at least slightly usable. people harp on epic launcher when this piece of shit barely functions 20% of the time. if you have a big library, it’s useless.

      or it was, I stopped trying to make it with when i realized playnite exists.

        I have a large GOG library, I no longer use their launcher because I’m on Linux and use heroic. However their launcher always worked fine for me.

        I don’t recall ever having an issue. Are you sure there wasn’t something underlying going on with your system?

          yes. I’m talking about library including integration, which is the only reason I wanted to use galaxy to begin with. it fucks up all the time, losing games, not updating, logging out … not to mention its generally slow and clunky. playnite doesn’t look as nice but it’s 100x better in every other way.

            Strange, I guess to be fair I haven’t used their launcher in at least a year or two. Good that you found a solution that works better for you though.

        Eh, it’s literally there for games that need online access.
