Epic Games Faces Backlash Over Launcher Speed Comparison to Steam
The Epic Games Store recently shared a promotional graphic on social media claiming their launcher is significantly faster than Steam. The data highlights a cold start time of 5.47 seconds for Epic compared to 10.07 seconds for Steam, alongside faster restoration times from the system tray. However, the post has been met with skepticism and criticism from the gaming community. Many users have questioned the relevance of these metrics, arguing that overall platform features and game library quality are more important than minor differences in startup speed. The comparison has sparked a heated debate regarding the company's marketing strategy and its ongoing competition with the Steam platform.
I like epic. I got to play some games that i never payed for.
Fuck off with your censorship retard
Yay more chinese propaganda Tell you what You can take your egs and fuck right off to tencent Eat shit
tbh. steam has gotten pretty slow. so i would welcome attacking steam on that vector
What a sad company EPIC has become, and what small dick energy it and its CEO have.
I love Steam and I highly suspect I'll be on Steam for the rest of my life. Emperor Gave protects. However, AI is inevitable. Coding is arduous work. I wouldn't reap a grain field by hand if I had a harvester to do it for me. The thing I worry about - is the day coding becomes so
Epic games get so obsessed with steam they wouldn't stop talking about it
Honest question: if you own a gaming pc, why the hell would you use that shitty epic launcher?
Epic has no self awareness at all. You're so inferior you have to reach for something like 5 seconds of single time loading to have a leg up in any metric whatsoever. It's just pathetic to think publishing something like this is a win.
Who the fuck cares about launcher loading time? When the games you then click takes forever to load ? Is this some way to promote more ai slop?
