How nice. They couldn't program their software well enough because they didn't knew how to. And now they have a piece of software that they'll have to maintain that they don't know how it works anymore. What could possibly go wrong?

Welp, time to uninstall the Epic Launcher. I guess i'm gonna have to double-dip on KH3 on Steam during the CHRISTMAS SALE. And i guess Crysis Remastered, too. Is Crysis 3 worth giving a fuck about?
