The current way to play Epic/GoG/Amazon games on the Steam Deck is

  • Switch to desktop mode
  • From the app store, search for Heroic Launcher and install
  • Launch Heroic
  • Put login credentials for Epic/GoG/Amazon
  • Wait for your library to get populated
  • Install the games
  • Add Heroic as a non-Steam application
  • Switch back to Big Picture mode
  • Launch Heroic
  • Play games

While the number of steps seems like a lot, if you compare against the Windows equivalent, it's not a lot simply because Windows has no Big Picture/console mode. I personally hate the desktop mode in Windows because I'm forced to use the touchscreen constantly.

What would you like to be changed in this process?

I use Heroic and got all their free games. I also have Prime so I get more free games on Epic. But Hell will freeze over before I buy a game on Epic.

That last line is absolutely disgusting but true.

As a millennial myself, I have immense respect for "tech boomers". They walked so that we could run during the 90s tech boom.

I have seen young people not knowing any other directory other than Downloads and not understanding that there is a filesystem inside their phone.


The file is not in my downloads

Me: Have you checked other directories?

Other directories?

Me: Okay, open your file manager.

What's a file manager?

Me: Okay, do you have Google Files (an application which I detest but I know is pre-installed in Android phone)

Umm...have to check.

How do you save a picture? Where is Downloads? How do you apply a saved picture as a wallpaper?

These are confusing questions to boomers and Gen Z.

Why not have a simple app which "automatically" does all the hard work (just in exchange of a little of your data)?
