This one keeps telling me to install some Amazon launcher or something when I claim it through heroic launcher.

I've not tried Amazon games on Heroic, but in the past I've had no trouble claiming on the web page and installing through Lutris

This one is kind of different. When I claimed it from the Amazon store on heroic, Amazon then instructs me to install the Amazon games launcher in order to play it. I didn't even know ~~since~~ such thing even existed. Fine, downloaded the .exe file and installed it through heroic then installed the game through Amazon games launcher through heroic 🤦🏽‍♂️, the mental gymnastics us Linux users have to go through to just play a game. Then when the games installed, I created another game through heroin, but this time I pointed it to the game's prefix instead of the Amazon's games launcher.

Weird. I know that the web page always instructs me to use Amazon's launcher every time I claim a game, but I've never actually needed to. Maybe they've changed something?

I have ~~ni~~ no fucking idea, but I got it working now. I even figured out a way to change the "quit to windows" option in the game to "quit to Linux", just as a fuck you to them. Lol
