Original Title: PSA. If your game stops working on Heroic Game Launcher, there’s probably new terms and conditions to agree to for the associated store. Log into Epic/GOG/whatever on another device, accept the terms, games start working again.

Frustrating but a number of my games suddenly would not work. Playing them in desktop mode revealed a wall of text with a mention of privacy policy. Sure enough, logging into the Epic Store on my phone revealed an update to the terms and conditions that I had to agree to in order to get into the store. I agreed to that and the games all work on the Steam Deck again with no action required on the deck itself.
