Launching game on Steam: Launch Steam, update, restart, pop-up for new games/sales, close pop-up, change page to access library, launch game
Launching game on Epic: Launch Epic, click on shortcut on the left
Yep… total shit…
The fuck?
Launching a game in steam: click game shortcut on desktop, let steam check for updates, if there’s an update wait a minute for it to download and the game to launch
Oh then the experience is exactly the same with Epic, don’t see the problem then!
I was obviously talking about the experience if you start your game by opening the launcher itself, if you don’t then I don’t know why people care which launcher their game is on, the experience is the same everywhere.

You forgot:
- Epic needs to update
- Yeah, we decided you don’t own that game anymore, even though you’ve played it multiple times
- Oops, epic corrupted your install
- Okay we fixed it but we don’t have cloud save, sorry you lost your progress
- Oops, the EGS version breaks mods that work with every other version of the game
Of all of those only the first one ever happened to me, they have cloud saves, never had an issue with mods… I think you’re mixing up the experience on release vs the experience today, native you should refrain from commenting if you haven’t used the product in a long time, you’re like someone saying “I don’t buy Japanese cars because I had one and it had shit power compared to my friend’s American car!” and that experience dates back to the 70s.

What makes you think I haven’t used it? Sure, cloud saves were added recently ish. They still released and pushed for exclusivity without it, and also had their fair share of problems.

On the other hand, maybe you should refrain from commenting if you are only going to go off anecdotal evidence. There are plenty of people who have had serious problems with EGS. And their support is notoriously pathetic.
