Your friend and mine, Tim Sweeney of Epic Games, is going even harder into the AI slop. He tweeted: [Twitter, archive] We have a huge pivot underway here at Epic, moving developers around to retool…

    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.

        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

            No you are missing my point. Steam launcher is open. Epic isnt even installed.

            Im not talking about browser vs app. Im talking about epic vs steam.

              @Soyweiser yeah no, I don’t have the Epic launcher either, being on Linux and I don’t trust this glob of slop 😁
