Then use a third party launcher like Heroic and play the game, it's good.

I presume part of that is not wanting to give Epic money, in general.

On top of that, I also don't trust Epic Games with my data anymore and deleted my account.

Yes. They are trying to bribe their way into the market without actually offering anything, and my expectation is if they ever actually get market share we'll see an enshitification speed run.

You add non steam games to your steam library with a click. There's no need for another launcher on top of steam.
