The comments were filled with relieved Genshin Impact players who had seen charges with the new publisher name on their statements and were concerned. You get a native-like experience with this method, considering you get a lot of features using the GUI. While Legendary is originally a command-line application, the Heroic Games Launcher provides a GUI to make it easy.
Reddit user TheWorldIsFullOfWar posted to let fellow fans know that Cognosphere was a new proxy publishing label of miHoYo’s. It lets you launch Epic Games Store using a free and open-source replacement for the Epic Games Launcher, i.e., Legendary. GoG lets you link your account to steam and can net you a drm free version of certain games in your library. However, it’s clear that miHoYo could have announced the news in a better way. Epic have been giving away free games in their store, probably to try and establish a library in peoples accounts.
Players can continue to download Genshin Impact through Epic Game Store with a free gift. Genshin Impact’s publisher change on Epic Games Store currently appears to be no cause for concern for Genshin Impact fans. First reported on Reddit by Neoncarbon, happy owner of an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, the phenomenon results in a strangely high temperature of the CPU on. The official post from miHoYo outlined the reasons for the change but it appears many players didn’t see the announcement posted on miHoYo’s website, rather than Genshin Impact’s in-game “Notice” area. Based on feedback from many users, corroborated by HotHardware and by our own observations, the launcher of Epic Games abnormally demands the processor under Windows 10, even if no game is launched.
(And the download page and settings page aren't even clickable anymore) The store takes less time to load. Although there were rumors that the game’s publisher change was for reasons that weren’t publicized, they appear to only be rumors. Epic Games launcher ridiculously slow (NOT download speeds) About a week ago my Epic games launcher started being INSANLEY slow, like a solid three minutes to load the home page, if it even manages to load. Much of the discourse around Genshin Impact’s publisher changing on the Epic Games Store can be summed up by a post in the Genshin Impact subreddit by user Yamusauce.
