That was clear. Your distribution (or flathub) takes care of distribution (shocker, I know), so there’s no costs associated with publishing a new update.
This is linux, updates comme free with your OS.
Paid and for what? I don’t see anything in there that isn’t table stakes? I’m sorry but “download queue” isn’t a feature, it’s the most basic thing that I would expect a launcher to have.
I genuinely can’t see why anyone would pay for this much less subscription 💀
Okay so basically this is saving bytes on a technicality but also good programming language design (for this specific purpose).
The first aspect is that since you’re scored on bytes, it’s not really to your advantage to use a language that uses ascii (or utf-8) for it’s tokens, because a large part of it is unprintables like DEL or BELL. So people have designed specially crafted golfing programming languages that use a full 256 possible characters in order to pack as many features as possible in as few bytes as possible.
The good design part of it is that if you really think about it hard, there’s really not that many things you expect a programming language to do. It turns out that 256 total different operands is about in the sweet spot, so each character that’s available in the 1-byte code page is mapped to one command, and the languages are also designed to make as many things as possible implicit, both at the cost of readability. Remember, all that matters here is getting the lowest score, not code maintainability or anything else.
This leads to languages like japt (which is a terse form of JavaScript, I’m pretty sure) or pyth (same for python) or Vyxal (my personal favorite, used to be python based but is now bespoke) that look like this but absolutely own at getting a task out in as few bytes as possible.

League of legends used to work well but yeah I mostly never bother with lutris.
It was good in the past back when every game needed a different configuration of wine but nowadays proton-GE works out of the box on most games.
Yeah especially considering I’m not touching the amazon launcher with a 10 foot pole.
It’s really just that Linux is the only thing where it’s possible to run an envient version on modern hardware
