The Epic First Run programme allows developers of any size to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make their game exclusive on the Epic Games Store for six months.

After the six months are up, the game will revert to the standard Epic Games Store revenue split of 88% for the developer and 12% for Epic Games.

    Just use playnite or one of the alternatives, it’s so much easier launching every game from the one place.

    I only open epic launcher once a week to get the free game I’ll never play and that’s it.

        Yeah being able to add and launch the more nefariously obtained games along side legitimate games is one of my favourite things about it. The filter to quickly see owned vs installed across every account is also up there as a top feature.

            gog can do the same but I kept having issues with the plugins for each launcher randomly crashing and signing me out and it just got so annoying to use

            100% it can handle pirated games yeah, I used to use this a few years ago but swapped to playnite and I honestly can’t remember what made me swap. I don’t remember it having view filters… maybe it does
