If you’re going to try and compete with something like Steam, you need to actually compete.
Most launchers are storefronts at best and nothing else. Often the buying experience isn’t even good.
Is there a universal launcher like Lutris available for Windows? I was looking to build a gaming HTPC and want to interface with it with just only a controller, just like a console.
Playnite. Combines all games from all connected launchers into one and configurable/themeable to your hearts desire
Launchbox. But the 10foot controller interface is behind a paywall with a weird scheme.
yeah I mean who can compete with family share. wait what. one person being on means the library is unavailable???
I’ve always thought that was something they had to put in place to place publishers. I mean, sharing is basically the same as stealing, right? So they had to make it really dumb in order for pubs to go along with it?
I doubt it. It makes it essentially useless nowadays to given how many single player games have a online requirement.
