    They already lost me when they told me I couldn’t play a downloaded game without an internet connection. DRM free is the only way.

      You can, with some. The launcher has an offline mode and a lot of the binaries within the install location can be run without the -epicportal requirement, but I’m unsure if you can also play them without keeping the launcher installed. Depends on the game, I guess.

      You can, you just have to know which games can be played without needing a launcher. I know I have some Epic Games back ups of games I redeemed from a deleted account that I can run that don’t need the Epic Launcher.
