Zoom Platform is an alternative DRM-free game store | Heroic Games Launcher to support it for extra convenience ✅

...And nooo don't confuse it with that video conferencing thingy.... Sometimes these naming choices....

Maybe we'll have itch.io on Heroic soon too for a wonderful one spot experience to these lesser known DRM-free choices 🙏

☕ Speaking of anticheat / how some say "you can't play online multiplayer titles on Linux" - *you can* - but not ALL yet (not Linux' fault) 🚧

Game examples working /w anticheat on Linux:

Sea of Thieves
Red Dead Redemption Online
CS2
Helldivers 2
Overwatch 2
The Finals
Halo Infinite
Ark Survival Evolved
War Thunder
Squad
Arma 3 / Reforger
Dota 2
Titanfall
Battlefront 2
WoW
Guild Wars 2
Albion Online

Risky kernel-level anticheat should go anyhoo.
