In their own words

Epic Games Launcher

Epic Games Launcher gives users access to install and launch games in an Epic Games Store library. The launcher is free to install, and Epic offers a new free game every Thursday on mobile and PC. The store is available globally on PC and Mac and worldwide on Android; iPhone and iPad access is limited to specified supported regions. Desktop requirements include Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 11, macOS 13.5 or later, an Intel Core i3 or AMD FX processor, 4GB memory, compatible DirectX 9 graphics and 3GB storage. Many games support cloud saves, and signed-in players can continue progress across devices in supported games. Offline Mode works for eligible installed single-player games, though multiplayer, cloud saves, achievements and other online services may not be available. The launcher supports controllers and automatic updates. Epic accounts support authenticator-app, SMS or email two-factor authentication, parental controls and up to 1,000 friends. Mod support is listed as none. Optional in-app purchases are available.

Gameforge Client

Gameforge Client is a Windows gaming platform that brings Gameforge games together in one place. The client presents a simple sequence: install it, discover games, and play. A Gameforge account can manage accounts for multiple games under one email address and password, and can automatically sign players in when a game launches. Its remember-password option avoids entering the password for every launch. Players can add and save new game accounts; to connect an existing game account, they sign in with its game credentials and confirm their email address. Another account can be added through a game's Library settings. A Gameforge account works with a game when that title appears in the Client's Library, and Gameforge says more games are planned for integration. Separate Gameforge accounts cannot currently be merged. The client also connects to Gameforge support, where users can contact support and view ticket history; registering an account simplifies ticket processing. Gameforge is a publisher and developer of online games, from browser titles to MMORPGs. The client is free.
