I’d agree except it does its job as a launcher poorly. It takes way too long (at least in my experience, and apparently a lot of other people’s)

It is SO unbearably slow right?? I can’t tell if the people who don’t bring this up either Actually don’t experience this (in which case: lucky) or just don’t mind

Yeah the biggest turn off for me is its speed tbh

I’d blame it on my wifi—and I have before—but the launcher genuinely takes ages to start up or to click anything. Pictures/videos take forever to load etc. But literally any other app works like a charm though, and Epic just takes so long it genuinely frustrates me. I’ve found other people have the same problem to, so yeah. I cannot stress enough how slow logging in/loading up/downloads/getting ANYTHING to load is.

As for features, imo user reviews are a huge thing for me. I’ve only ever seen brief critic ones on there. So needing to go to Steam to find these in itself makes me like it much more than Epic. And I think it’s missing a lot of other features that add up for a better consumer experience.

Also more of a personal gripe, but I just don’t like the interface as much rip. Paired with how long it takes to go through anything I just give up before I start. Like, I’d go to Steam to find new games I’d be interested in, and only ever use Epic if I already have a specific game in mind so I can get there with as few clicks as possible.

Sorry if I sound overly critical or rude or something, I’m just kind of pissed at Epic rn. Ah impulsivity, my old friend
