This is coming from the guy whose distribution platform outright lacks the ability to reuse existing game files after an OS reinstall. EGS requirES that the user initiate each game download one at a time and do some weird file juggling to try to trick the launcher into using what is already there.

You know, basic functionality that literally every other launcher is able to handle by pointing to a games’s installed folder. In Steam’s case, you can reload libraryfolders.vdf and it’ll automstically detect and link up files appropriately all at once across multiple drives.
