    I made a guide on how you can create a simple game launcher.
    Here is the article: https://thegabmeister.com/blog/game-launcher-qt/

    A few reasons on why you might want to create your own launcher:

    • You’re creating an app that you want to distribute yourself and not through gaming platforms like Steam and Epic Store. You see this in some multiplayer and live-service games. You will need to implement your own patching / updating system.
    • You want full control and customizability. You want to create a desktop app that not only launches the game, but has other features that are not available in other launchers.

        You might create your own launcher when you want full control over distributing your game and handling updates instead of relying on platforms like Steam or Epic. It also lets you design custom features and a tailored desktop experience that other launchers don’t provide.
