Heroic Launcher does them both too, probably a bit less slick though
Comment on New Junk-Store update (install and play Epic Games + GOG on the Steam Deck)

I haven’t even looked at Epic because I don’t want to have to deal with their stuff. Now I might reconsider it. And $6 to make my GOG games play like they’re from Steam just sounds like a good idea.

I will warn you that sometimes epic/gog games won’t work without some manual troubleshooting. You sometimes have to install windows components like .net and various dll files. Heroic and Junk store let you use winetricks to install these easily, but it can be tricky to figure out what components you’re actually missing.
Heroic recently added in UMU support which is making a database of these needed components, and will automatically install them as needed. Eventually that project hopes to make Heroic/Junk/etc as smooth of an experience as playing the same games through steam, but for right now it can be hit or miss if a game will “just work” or not.

Oh, I get that, but Junky still sounds easier than trying to finagle Heroic to work through the standard game interface, rather than desktop mode. I’ve done it before, but anything that makes it easier is a win for me, and anything that streamlines using GOG instead of Steam is worth it to me, if only to add pressure to game publishers to avoid DRM.
