    Yes, we’re all very desperate to leave the Steam ecosystem, we’re just waiting for … checks notes … a slightly faster launcher.

    Yes, that’s it: a slightly faster launcher.

      The hilarious part is, yes, I don’t care how fast my launcher is.

      But… also, Steam is by far the slowest, least responsive program on my computer.

      “Faster than Steam” feels like a joke.

      I don’t use a lot of non-open source applications (and not a lot of desktop applications generally). Have they gotten so bad that the slowness of Steam doesn’t feel bad to people anymore?

      I’m sorry Steam, is not you. But that new launcher is so slightly faster… I can’t resist.

      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.
