Best game launcher?

[Shyam Ganapathy]

Looking for a good game launcher. What do you guys use?

Steam

Steam is my go-to launcher as they have pretty much everything. However, Epic Games (as much as I hate Fortnite) now has a free game every two weeks. I am not sure if that will last, but Subnautica is, at the time of writing, still free for another two days, so I also have Epic Games installed.

Other notable ones that I have installed include Origin (which exists because of Crysis and nothing else) and Uplay, which I don't play much.

If you get subnautica do you keep it or does it go away in 2 days?

You can skin it if you want - https://steamcustomizer.com/ and http://steamskins.org/ are great recources - and in reality, everyone is on steam at the moment. That may change, but for the moment that is how it is. It is due for an update at somepoint too.

Nope, you keep it forever. The next release is Super Meat Boy, that enters the store on the 28th.

Not what I asked.

could you clarify a "good game launcher" for me please.

if it means what i think it means then i'd probably say GOG.com, as i dont have to actually run it when i launch a game.

as opposed to steam where it launches even in offline mode.

the draw back to GOG.com is it may not actually have the games you prefer to play.

 

My only use for steam is because i can buy steam voucher cards from my local store, which means i dont have to add my bank details to the account.

Game launcher is something you use to open games, not buy them.
