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).

What's p-hacking but for metrics you technically win at?

Nobody was like "epic is bad because open slow". Maybe hire some fucking UX and UI designers, build basic shop features that are missing. Support linux.

I think valve are evil rent seeking bastards but stuff like not taking money for ads, steam input, proton, streaming, multiplayer joining, family library, and reviews does add actual value.

Of course, adding and maintaining features while vibe coding would be a neat trick, so how fast a pile of shit opens it is!

Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look.

Just pure fellow vibecoders cringe.
