Feature description

Heroic games launcher is available on winget. But I think it should also be available on chocolatey, which is as widely used as winget.

I don't really see a point in publishing to another database, which is inherently smaller than WinGet's (as WinGet is preinstalled on every Windows OS). Releases are already quite time-consuming.

That being said, if someone would create a PR to auto-update a potential Chocolatey version whenever we do a release (like it's currently done for Arch Linux's AUR), I don't see why that wouldn't get merged

I don't agree with you, Winget can give many different errors when installing applications. I can give you many examples of this. Also, chocolatey has hundreds of packages (known and unknown) and why shouldn't your app have them too? I don't think it should be that hard :)
