The question is why did it take a meme to push Valve to fix its awful, decades old Steam loading time?

    It's probably been in the works for awhile, no way is it possible to optimize an entire monolith in such a right time frame.

    It seems plausible they just didn't care enough and the fix actually was easy. After this long of it being slow, I don't understand why it would coincidentally happen now other than a complacent blindspot being awoken.

    I updated my client and startup still takes 15 seconds. Granted, my boot drive is a SATA3 Samsung 850 EVO, but 15 seconds is still much slower than any other program I have, even Adobe programs. So I don't know if the update works universally for everyone or something went wrong.
