## Why Rare?
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-05-21 23:40:10 +12:00
|
|
|
|
- Rare only uses ~50MB of RAM which is much less than the electron
|
|
|
|
|
based [HeroicGamesLauncher](https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher) uses.
|
|
|
|
|
- Rare supports all major platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac) unlike the alternatives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Note** Mac should work too, but I have no Mac and I can't test it.
