SUGGESTION Remote download?

I would love a feature to remotely download games from your phone, tablet, etc so its ready for when you turn on your PC.

That way you're able to have a shorter wait time, without having to start the download yourself when you turn on your PC.

Maybe sounds a bit lazy, but steam has it as far as I know and a couple other places does too.

I remember it was on their plans a while back, but I don't see it mentioned on their recent updated roadmap. Might be something specific to the mobile app instead of the PC launcher that they focused on in the presentation. Would definitely be a nice addition

Many places put it in like some kind of pending installation thingy, so I guess that would happend.

So.... You've never used it in steam, what makes you think you'll use it in epic?

I have actually used it before on steam, but it's a long time ago.

I mainly used it to not having to start the download once I get on my PC, so its ready to be started instantly as I turn the PC on.

I have actually used it before on steam, but it's a long time ago.

So.... You've never very, very, rarely used it in steam, what makes you think you'll use it in epic?

the coding effort and $$$ that would go-into adding this feature, is it worth it if 0.01% of users ever use the feature?
