Just povide an API and let the nerds create your launcher for free, you're obviously bad at it.

As long as it doesn't take a full minute to load any page and have 2 search bars that do different things in the game library, yes!

Heroic is good for handling install/playing Epic games, but it still farms out to a web browser frame for accessing the store itself.

I'm thinking OP has something like the GOG Galaxy in mind (which afaik will never come to Linux and I'm still pissed about it).

Yes I'm pissed too. They don't want my money apparently so I just stay on Steam

They’re too busy not fixing Cyberpunk

Steam workshop hogging all mods pisses more. Especially if you have the game from GoG. Yes, steamcmd, but usability is bad with 200 mods.
