Like many others I have a lot of content on itch.io amassed through some impressive bundles they've had in recent years. I'm looking for an easy way to browse and launch my itch.io games and it got me wondering why Heroic doesn't have itch.io implemented by default. It would seem an obvious choice.

Itch has its own launcher which has a native Linux version, you can find it on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/io.itch.itch

Although it doesn't get many updates anymore, feels like it's on maintenance mode. It supports installing both Linux and Windows versions of games and even launching the Windows version with Wine, although without any DXVK/VKD3D options, it's kinda bare-bones, but for the generally simple indie games on the platform it usually works fine.
