Anyway, I've used Junk-Store for well over a year now, and I swear by it. To me the benefit is how while running from within Decky, the library you're presented (of your Epic Games titles, or GOG) looks exactly as it does in your regular games' library on the Steam Deck.

It feels like an extension of what is already there, as stock and pretty as if it were official. It makes playing your claimed (or bought) games a breeze.

Here's a video showing Heroic and Junk-Store on the Steam Deck, with details on each - its a YouTube link!

And another by another YouTuber, doing something similar!

Yes, GOG is a once-off payment of $6.00 USD, for me that's more than worth the time they dev puts in to the work, just like XBPlay (upscaling Xbox games through cloud gaming on my Steam Deck!) was a once-off payment, to me I feel like I'm getting a steal.

Anyway, a heads-up for those who run it (or want to!), a nice update has been made!

(also, not my picture I attached to this. It belongs to one from the Junk-Store - Annie!
