Overall, it seems like Epic’s approach rather than designing something elegant and usable is to throw resources at it until it mostly does what they want it to. Sometimes that resource is money and now apparently it’s CPU cycles. While I appreciate the free games, it’s hard to respect the process.

The library has some serious issues as well. So often I accidentally launch a game when I just want to check the install size or achievements.

In regards to logging in, there’s only Steam that does it right. That problem also exists for the Ubisoft and EA launcher even though they have that toggle. Plus you need to have admin rights on Windows to update these launchers…

spent ages clicking around the other day apparently there's no way to see a big page just for a specific game in your library? The only option is to see your library as a list or to go to the _store_ page? It's dire

Does EGS still seek admin approval every time it starts to try and install extra online services? It's yet another reason I try to avoid starting it. It's not user-centric at all. xP

One of the reasons I don't trust the egs. Everything seems so cheap I don't trust them that it is save to use and not losing my account because of a system hiccup

Yeah, its UX is the main reason I’m minimising interactions with that platform I couldn’t care less about loyalty to corporate digital storefronts, but Steam is just more pleasant and convenient to use

try it on wine... the login takes foreveeeer (if it works at all)

EGS is a program made in unreal engine itself. So there is the default UE cruft to work with already. But then on top of that it just loads and displays webpages. So the slowness is probably the combination of those 2.

Company that created the biggest and technically innovative gane engine, can't let a few of the engineers profile the gosh darn launcher. It feels like nothing is cached and all the textures are uncompressed. Even opening my game library is extremely slow.

AFAIK, every game can have a custom theme for their store page, so it seems to also extend to the payment when directly buying it from the game store page

Even just switching between pages in the Epic Games Store is slow. Why does it take a second? It should take a nanosecond at most.
