The link you put states that the command is heroic but that would be true only in the first two cases (RPM package from the repos or manually installed). If you installed it as a flatpak from FlatHub, e.g., the command would rather be:

The epic games launcher doesn't have linux support. Download the Heroic Games Launcher from flatpak https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

Thanks to the 2.5.0 release of Heroic available on Github (also available as an appimage) and Flatpak now the user has the ability to add Windows executables and installers in Heroic, and preview them in his library, here a little more information about this:

Try Heroic Games launcher, it replaces EGS and GOG launchers.

Install Heroic Games Launcher from the Discover store, it definitely seems like the best way to run Epic and GOG games: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl Heroic can then add shortcuts to the games you install to Steam, so you can launch them in game mode.

You could ask the maintainers of the Heroic flatpak to add gamescope as an extension, it should be fairly simple to implement and PolyMC and WarThunder are currently doing that.

You can download Heroic Games from Discover (shopping bag icon) in desktop mode (link to the flathub page: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl).

Not really, I just installed the Flatpak from here: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

I only really play single player, but I have run into this too. This is a great resource to keep track of progress - https://areweanticheatyet.com/

It varies by game. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is an interesting resource for that because they also track announcements by developers about whether or not linux support is eventually planned.

AFAIK the games that don't work are more modern, competetive games that use Anticheat. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is a good resource to see the status of your game.

It is game by game basis. Use this guide to see if the game you play is supported or not.

The only caveat to that is online games with anti-cheat. EAC and BattlEye both support Linux but requires studios to tick a box, many of which refuse. Any kernel-layer AC that doesn't have a userspace component will not run on Linux. Can see a list of games and their AC support here.

> except Multiplayer online games

That's no longer the case. I'd say about now, there are more multiplayer games that you can play, as opposed to ones you can't play.

See: https://areweanticheatyet.com/ as reference, but it's not very up-to-date, so https://www.protondb.com/ would probably be a better reference.

Only listed the 'bigger' ones, but you have a rather full list here if you want to check your favorite games: arwianticheatyet.com

Nope, just works. There are some games that use invasive kernel-level anticheat that wont work as Linux sensibly blocks anything that shouldn't be messing with the kernel, but I'm not personally interested in those games anyway. EAC and Battleye both support Linux, but requires devs to tick a box, which there's several that can't be bothered.
