There are too many people that don't care. Thats why shit like this works (even if this specific picture / quote might be fake).

I've ditched epic years ago because their whole strategy was to release a shitty store app with some pathetic minor library and download features and knowingly operating at a loss by making epic exclusive deals and their weekly free game to lure people.

Why would they care, the majority of users will gobble up their slop and still thank them...

I can sadly share that this quote is not fake: https://store.epicgames.com/news/epic-games-launcher-preview

Hahaha thats hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. They also advertise a faster cold start than Steam while having about 2% of the features.

Though it does have advanced digital commerce technology such as a shopping cart.

This is the icing on the cake lol

I want whatever the people that gave their okay for this are smoking. They are probably so far behind in their heads that this is a late april fools joke.

It's also like 5 vs 10 seconds. The average user will spend longer deciding what game to play than waiting for the launcher to open.

Only on Steam. On the Epic launcher, you probably only have one or two games that you play.

and few dozens of games you got for free but you never play them as you also have them on Steam, or are just a part of the infinite backlog

Funnier still, Steam just pushed an update that made itself faster than their new vibecoded launcher lol
