tbh it was a legitimate issue with the epic launcher the last time i used it: everything loaded for three seconds each time since it was some sort of prohibitively bloated framework web app
Yeah it legit took more than a minute to launch the fucking barebone app, that's the reason most people haven't been using the store. It's definitely because the launch speed is so so slow that people not using it, good on them to make it usable, now maybe fix the other thing.
