Legendary: A better and accessible alternative to epic games launcher
Taken from the readme:
Legendary is an open-source game launcher that can download and install games from the Epic Games platform on Linux and Windows. It's name as a tongue-in-cheek play on tiers of item rarity in many MMORPGs.
Right now Legendary is in beta and not feature-complete. You might run into some bugs or issues. If you do please create an issue on GitHub so we can fix it.
What works:
• Authenticating with Epic's service
• Downloading and installing your games and their DLC
• Delta patching/updating of installed games
• Launching games with online authentication (for multiplayer/DRM)
• Syncing cloud saves (compatible with EGL)
• Running games with WINE on Linux
• Importing/Exporting installed games from/to the Epic Games Launcher
Planned:
• Simple GUI for managing/launching games
• Better interfaces for other developers to use Legendary in their projects
• Lots and lots of bug fixes, optimizations, and refactoring...

to list your games. Your games wil have an appname, which is an identifier you need to use to install a game. EG, to install GTAV, you'd need to copy its displayed identifier wich addons such as speech history, and then type in
"legendary install identifier"
instid of
"legendary install gamename"
