Feature description

I would like to have a toggle that permits to bypass legendary and launch an Epic Store game like a sideloaded ones. In fact there are some games, like Thief and Super Meat Boy Forever, that are essentially drm-free if launched directly from they executable.

Alternatives

At the moment the only alternative it to re-add the game to heroic as a sideloaded ones pointing directly to the exe and the same prefix. You get two entries per game, an epic one that you can use to update the game and a sideload one that you can use to play drm-free.
