I do play quite a few games (and own a lot more), but the closest I got to the epic launcher is this popup after I got the free games out of FOMO.

And no, it isn't installed. So any slop improvements on speed don't matter to me at all. Odd how Steam doesn't have to beg me to ask if the launcher is installed (nor does it need some weird popup to check how many people have installed it).

Image description.

A popup asking if the launcher is installed. With buttons to click if it is installed, and help you download it if it isn't.

@Soyweiser @dgerard him, Steam does the same if I buy stuff in a browser ...

Why buy stuff in the browser when the launcher is already open and running?

@Soyweiser because Firefox is about 2000% faster than the embedded chromium, and because links open in the browser, so why switch
