What is 'Epic Games Launcher'

[–] AnUnusualRelic 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Isn't it the thing that gives out free games that you never play, every now and then?

Death Stranding? Control? All the Batman and Tomb Raider games? Most games I play on PC were Epic freebies.

The first two work fine. Don't know about the others.

You are going to feel stupid when I tell you, but it’s the “Launcher” for “Epic Games”.

I don’t game, but I installed it once to play around with Unreal Engine once. The meme is quite accurate.

Back in my day we just double-clicked on executables or shortcuts to executables. I hate launcher bullshit that solves exactly zero problems with computing. Seen it pop up in non-game applications too.

It doesn't matter when you have like 5 games, but when you start to get into the hundreds.... A launcher that can filter, group, hide, etc games is nice.
