    But does Steam offer a “mini-launcher” to be used on other platforms?

    Maybe they do, but if so I’ve never heard of it.

    (Which isn’t me defending Epic, just wondering if it is at all feasible)

        Correct. But what was proposed here was a game outside of Steam using Steam’s services, which I believe isn’t a thing.

          Warthunder launches from steam, using WT proprietary launcher.

          It’s Def a thing

            Games launching from Steam wasn’t the point here. It was about games launching from Epic (or any non-Steam store for that matter).

              Then you want GoG.
              Or just launch whatever game right from it’s launchers exe no matter which store you bought it at.

                Yeah, but, the argument here was about including some sort of Steam client with the EGS version of the game. And I’m saying I don’t think Steam offers a “stripped-down” client like Epic, EA, Ubisoft and others do.

                  There a lot of cross platform games. Beyond that, what you’re saying makes little sense.

                    The post:

                    Space Marine 2’s Epic Games client on Steam is for crossplay, confirms publisher

                    The comment I’m replying to:

                    Then make the Epic version include Steam instead of vice-versa

                    My comment: I don’t think that’s possible because I don’t think Steam offers their services/a mini-client in the way you’re proposing.
