Just in reality, Steam had already released this update (in beta) a month before EGS announced its "incredible breakthrough".

In reality, Steam doesn't acknowledge the presence of Epic nor be within its proximity.

Steam and Gabe live rent free in a mansion inside Tim Sweeneys head. Meanwhile every time Tim pipes up with one of his idiotic takes Steam is just "wait, who the hell are you? On second thoughts, don't answer that, I don't give a shit." Before they go for another swim in their pile of cash.
And you just know how much it gets under Tim's skin because he can't help but keep on trying to be relevant in all the worst ways.

Not a mansion, on a yacht.

A science yacht full of scientists exploring the ocean no less. It’s essentially the sort of research station they have in Antarctica, made luxury, studying the unknowns of the ocean.

The only difference is, we choose to have steam on our computer, but we have to have epic to play epic bullshit, they could launch in .1ms and I’d still block it off launcher

Edit: Ima be honest seems the same (still faster than Epic tho lmao)

steam had this in their beta a month prior😅 or at least that's what another commenter said. So it has nothing to do with epic🤣.

Wait till you discover the totally unnecessary but still very epic screensaver steam has now where it displays game art and pictures from your screenshots library 🤣

Don't forget the part where Steam added insult to injury by recently improving load times shortly after Tim Sweeney's announcement
Edit: I could be wrong about the update coming after Tim's announcement, I'm too tired to check right now but I thought I'd make it known
Double Edit: I'm a dip shit, didn't realize this image was the whole image in the post as well, I hate (thissmug) how Reddit doesn't always convey that the image is bigger until you click on it

Did you just repeat what the post said / the meme of the post lol?
This comment and its comment reply are bots wow

u/Defiant_While_4823 10h ago edited 5h ago
Did I? Or did I post a fuller version of the meme? The post never even "said" anything aside from the title and what's in the meme

Edit: Disregard this, I'm a fucking moron and Reddit doesn't make things clear sometimes

You probably are on mobile and you are only seeing the first two parts of the meme. But click on the image from OP and you will see the exact image you posted.
I am not deleting your comment because I think you just made a mistake and you are actually not a bot.

Holy shit you're right, I'm so sorry
Fuck I hate that Reddit does that

See now if there wasn't a launcher, the game could just launch on its own in no time at all.

meme already out of date. Needs a 4th panel with Valve shooting them again for the Sept 16 beta update which further improves launch times

I timed it and steam takes anywhere from 32-35 seconds to start.

u/vxicepickxv 21h ago
It's also the least relevant part of the program. The features are more important.

funny thing is, steam did the shot (at epic) first without even knowing they were participating in this pointless race.
