I'm honestly so tired of those exclusivity contracts keeping games away from Steam

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Steam

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • Playnite

    Video game library manager with support for wide range of 3rd party libraries and game emulation support, providing one unified interface for your games.

  • I haven't used galaxy in awhile so it might of improved. But if you have a large library of titles - galaxy would choke. There was a rumor of security issues with it - that were kind of resolved but then came back (not sure of the current status). Playnite handles everything I have thrown at it - steam, gog, epic, battlenet, itch, ubisoft, origin, and probably something I have I forgotten. I mainly launch from the actual direct launcher - but playnite helps me track stuff much better. It did take a bit of fiddling in some cases. https://playnite.link/ Galaxy would just get bogged down.

  • SteamRunner

    Universal game runner for Steam

  • I made a PowerShell application that simplifies the process, so Epic games launched through Steam inherit the overlay, Steam Input, etc.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
