‘Epic Games Store Launcher is less useless than its use’ is not much appreciated but as far as I am ready to go. It has improved, uncertainly, but it’s still not painful, strange, and pleasant to use – not even the point that I refuse to use it, but if I have a choice between steam and epic, all the rest are equal. I can’t be very happy to hear my PR Plas saying that, I am not the only one who feels like this: Epic Games’ boss Tim Swini thinks so.
“One of the reasons why people introduce the epic sports launcher as cloning is that epic sports launchers are clinical,” Swini said in a recent interview. Lex Fredman. “We need to improve it.”
“We have not emphasized enough on the qualities of quality of life. We have recognized it many times very clearly and we have gone through numerous reflecting. But you know, it is certainly frustrated for us and many users.”
In fact, it has been disappointing: In comparison with our 2024 of many launchers available for PC, Epic scored 41 % worst compared to Microsoft Store, EA, and Biteline, but still steam, GOG Galaxy, and even itching.
According to Swini, one of the challenges facing the epic is that its launcher issues are not “uniform”, but the user’s CDN (content supply network) and their combination size can vary dramatically in a dramatic way. Talking about experience, this is true: I don’t know where my neighbor’s CDN is but I have a bad Internet, and loading any kind of large epic library is an exercise of frustration – especially when it comes to steam, which flows like water through comparisons.
The interview also compared with steam, naturally: Swini reiterated his long -standing position that the epic launcher should not adopt all the features offered by the steam, but said “they want all the features of the convenience that provide easy and entertainment to use like steam.”
He also predicted that-hearted, I would say-in the long run, “the benefits of epic sports approach are far greater than the benefits of this steam approach, especially when gaming becomes a multi-platform.”
“Swiney said,” By combining all your players together and separating them into different populations of the online platform, it is much more beneficial. ” “I think the future trend is in the same direction. I wish the valve just opened the steam works to work on all the platforms. They could easily do it, we did it, but it seems that they are using people as a lever to keep people in the steam PC game store.”
Swini also took a moment to call on a “very toxic group of steam consumers” that engaged in “harassment campaigns” against developers using epic online services. Warhamar 40,000: For example, Space Marine 2 faced early negative studies on steam as it has automatically installed epic online services with the rest of the game to enable the list of crossplay and harmony friends.
“Developers do so so that they can connect their players to the platforms and keep their friends in the platforms and platforms,” Swini said. “But, you know, suddenly trying to turn into negative.”
Whether the epic forecast that the epic will eventually be out of the steam (or, I think, one day, Gabie and the company will be pleased to open their wall garden). For now, though, I think we can all agree that they are fine about the epic launcher: it’s definitely complicated. Fortunately, if you are one of the epic consumers struggling with it, there are options: GOG Galaxy will work, and for some other purpose, brave “is better than being an epic game launcher than being launchers,” according to PC Gamer.com.
