It's also free to pirate it, and then you don't have to deal with EGS garbage or FOMO from the limited time freebie offer.

But then I would have to use Epic Game Store

It's only free today. The free game rotates every day through the holidays.

Anyone know the best/simplest way to run EGS games on Linux?

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

Heroic Launcher.

Heroic launcher; it also replaces lutris for me since it makes it easy to run windows games through it

Unfortunately it doesn't work for shell scripts

Lutris seems to work. EGS specifically can be a bit of a pain though.

Sweet. Already had Jojo's Bizarre Silent Hill on my wishlist anyway.
