OK so this isn't exactly a glaring issue as it mostly makes zero difference in the grand scheme of things where the files are installed, but Micro$haft coded 64-bit versions of Windows to have two program folders one for 32-bit apps and one for 64-bit apps. At least with Epic's Launcher it does allow you to install games wherever you like.
Although you can move the entire Steam games directory it only allows you to move it onto other drives, not into other folders on the same drive, nor can you move individual game folders, it's all or nothing. Steam is another example, in so much as although the client itself is 32-bit, it installs all the games you download by default into a subfolder of its installation directory, even if they're 64-bit. This is actually quite a prevalent 'issue' among these sorts of applications. The thing is the launcher is available in a 64-bit version too but only once it's installed, so as a result you get the updated 64-bit version of the launcher installed to the wrong bloody place.
Epic Games' own launcher that you can use to install such marvels as the unfinished (and probably never to be finished) Unreal Tournament, Paragon and of course Fortnite, has one annoying aspect to it (actually it has several but this one becomes apparent the second you install the thing): By default the installer puts its shit into Program Files (x86) and that folder is reserved for 32-bit application programs only.
