2026 is the year the entire tech industry went full retard.
>>110065933>our blank app without features is faster than the app full of featuresI don't get it.
>>110065933They can't even get users even when they give games away for free.Usecase?
>It took sweeney 8 years of constantly fucking up to just admit that his company can't do shit >he's now also bragging that he's all in on vibeslopping as if that's an achievement
>>110065933>>110065971>>110065975>still no recording/screenshotting>still no robust profile customization/archiving>still no workshop>still no proper groups>still no voice chat>still throttling downloads on new releases>still no actual good deals and/or sales>still no trading>still no proper refunding>still no proper controller support>still nightmare security>still nightmare "support team">still has to blast millions for exclusives to not even have 5% launcher market share>still lags when scrolling (9800X/5080/64GB PC)And most importantly, Tim is still a malding cuck on X/Twitter posting and obsessing over things he will never achieve nor have.
>>110065933Right, because Epic Games represents the entirety of the tech industry.
>>110065933>4.5s faster on cold start>0.1s faster on restore from traydoes anyone really care about this
>>110065933Is it pronounced Epic Games or Epic James?
putting aside the dumb marketing like everyone else I usually just use epic to claim the free games and only very occasionally even play one, but its current awful performance makes even that little use annoying so this'll be an appreciated change once it makes it out of previewhonestly it's like they tried to make the shittiest least competitive featureless slowest storefront possible to intentionally lose money giving away shit with. baffling. maybe valve is secretly funding it to try to avoid antitrust allegations
>>110066024I was in that thread a second ajo
>>110065933>>110065971Do these faggots do anything other than give shit away and mald about Steam?
>>110066044No Tim Sweeney's personality is basically seething over steam 24/7
>itt steamdrones seething over epic games superioritysteam timmies your time is up!
>>110065933Ultimately, letting people build their own games is the best way to suit their tastes. I guess lazy gamers just don't get it.
>vidya gayms
>>110066098playing games is worse than browsing and watching tv or doing jack shit!
>>110065933How does an application that does nothing but show a mostly empty library take 5 seconds to start up POST optimization?
>>110066106Yes.
>>110065933>vibeslop laucher>cry that steam is monopoly, because people won't use your slop Gaben can't stop winning
>>110066419you don't under anon, a game launcher has to be a web browser actually
>>110066480No. Just make it a native application. With vibe coding, that's easier than ever.Even that shitty retard Photoslop clone everyone is raving about starts in ~100 milliseconds fully ready to go.
desu the steam client is an indian coded catastrophe
>>110066106Much much worse
https://goyimx.com/golden_aion/status/2110411675904164244
my biggest issues with egs is that DE has permanent "arabic language update" notification for like 5 yearsits like going to f95 and some game thread opens with a poll from 2020 and they just never ever ever remove it which makes me think everyone involved is mentally ill
>app takes half as long as steam to launch>does less than half of what steam doesisn't dim weenie shooting himself in the foot here?
>>110066106objectively true
>>110065971>>110066067
Please report that bug immediatelly!
>>110065971they brag about gayI use because they want to attract investors (aka future loangivers) because those loangivers get the most excited about cutting costs more than anyone, especially when that cost is labor.
>>110066480Kind of cope desu. You can still have fast launchers that leverage web technologies by having making it local first.
Holy fuck I gained 60 milliseconds of life back restoring from my system trayThis changes everything
>>110065933I can honestly see Epic coming out on top in the long run by getting in early on the AAA vibe coded ecosystem shit. I've always predicted that one day everyone will get rid of pretty much all developers and offload all work on AI and the consumers. Fortnite already has a "make your own damn game" part to it. Once UE6 comes out and it's fully AI integrated I fully see Epic moving heavily into the roblox type of space. I also predict them licensing out IPs to consumers to make their own games with said IPs. Fortnite is already an IP funhouse. I can see Epic becoming a middle man for other publishers to license their IPs to users via a subscription service so they can make their own Homer Simpson vs Superman game.
>>110066470why does this man upset nintoddlers so much?
>>110065965>>110065980>>110066419>>110066470>>110068123>mUh StEaM cLiEntThe dumb client that shutdown every Tuesday noon for “maintenance”. The dumb client that forces you to download games and nowhere else. The dumb client that lacks features but cultist like you calmed you use it.Enough with your bullshit. Steam is also part of Elon Musk Nazi website.
What was wrong with the old launcher that they needed to vibeslop a new one?
>>110068237tl;dr
>>110065933just dropping by to say that i REALLY despise steam cultists
>>110068249>Weak
>>110065965please list one feature of the steam client that is superior to its yahoo messenger/msn equivalent in the year 2000i'll make it easier for you by ignoring the one hundred thousandfold increase in processing power required to load an animated gif in steam which will still spike a 5090 ryzen 7 system
>>110065933>>110065965This, but not only in the sense that steam is necessarily better. It's such bloated dogshit electronslop these days that you shouldn't even HAVE to actively optimize a much simpler alternative for it to be faster, let alone vibecode.
>>110067976You and people like you are fucking retarded and the reason why we are in financial bubble every few years.If I can just make a game with AI then why should I bother with the game app? Why should I bother with the dumb middle manager that is Fortnite if I can just ask Claude to build the site for me? Is it because they are actually just a storefront for gamedevs to show off their games? Then that’s the same shit as Steam and Epic launcher. Roblox is just Steam but with more free games and much lower quality of games. If I can code my own game and don’t need Steam, then I don’t need any other game platform.What advantage does Epic have if AI moves heavily into gamedev over Steam? That some dumb kid will make their shit in pre-made engine for AI? You can just ask Opus 5.5 to make you custom engine and then build a skills file for it. You are the same kind of retard that would have made Sora app and then wonder why it’s a money pit.
>>110065965>I don't get it.their blank app without features was slower than the app full of features before this.
>>110065965the fucking web jeets can't program for shit, get it?
why couldn't steam just use AI to stay ahead?
>>110065933I don't give a shit if epic is faster. My games are all on steam and I'm not going anywhere.
>>110065933This is like comparing Photoshop to MS Paint. Newsflash, people use Heroic not Steam to launch the free games they got from egs
>>110068946same, i love monopolies, i love having all my eggs in one basket
>>110068960Make a better product
>>110068720>>110068723>>110068921>>110068930>>110068937>>110068946>>110069124Steam is just Chrome, this is why they can’t support XP, Visa, 7 and 8 Windows users. Anything below Mac 15 versions is dead too. Steam is not the better platform, it’s not solving gaming problems, there’s no reason for Steam Client to exist when you should just download it on browsers.
>>110065980
>>110068237Cringe
>>110068960I'd prefer if the other basket wasn't vibeslop.
>>110069124You literally just said that your games are all on steam and you're not going anywhere.
>>110065965Well actually it’s more like epic’s v2 app is made using tauri, rather than the electron slop valve’s launcher still uses.Epic v1 was also electron/chromium slop btw.
buttblasted faggotry aside, Steam would absolutely skullfuck the competition if it offered an option to separate the validator from the launcher/client. I don't care for the frills. If I have to validate the DRM of a game it shouldn't be accompanied by a huge bloated client. A streamlined version would be much better on Linux anyway.
>>110065933Did Tim Sweeney beg / pay the 13 Steam users to install it and "pls try it bro"?Of course it's gonna load marginally faster on an SSD being the most recently installed app. lmao.
>>110068338i wanna cum on your face
>>110065966Uhm fortnite. Its the best game on the planet. Ever heard of it.
>>110065933being faster than steam launcher is no challenge the launcher is a piece of shit.
>>110068237>maintenanceI've never had a problem with Steam Maintenance windows. Steam keeps playing my games just fine.
>>110067098Nobody uses Epic why would they maintain it?
>>110069151>there's no reasonIt handles everything in one package so it just works. Unlike EGS where everyone ships their own Epic Gay Services and it's all sloppy and never works properly.
>>110065980All of that pales in comparison to the most important feature it's lacking, trust. It was spy ware on day one, I don't care what it is now, I will never ever install it.
>>110068237>nazi nazi naziYour nazi mother and nazi father are very nazi disappointed in you.Go to your nazi room and check under your nazi bed to make sure the nazis don't get you.
>>110066098nooooooooooooooooo
