Without any flashy marketing campaigns or social media fanfare, Valve rolled out a routine Steam Client update containing a very simple line in the patch notes: “Improved Steam Client startup performance.”

You’re confusing me shitting on Epic as defending Valve, I’m not. I am on record stating people are dumb to glaze Gabe so much when he is so rich he owns a yacht maker, not even just a yacht or two. That doesn’t mean Tim Sweeney and Epic aren’t shit. Tim is at the vanguard of pushing an AI first development pipeline so he can go fuck himself. A launcher loading slightly faster isn’t a big deal. Sorry if that opinion upsets you.

    You came out to argue that speeding up the launcher doesn't matter, against someone who thinks it does. How is that not defending them? Do you just need to take any opportunity to shit on Epic? Is that what it is? If so, that's fucking weird.

    I don’t think speeding up the launcher matters much. My argument is speeding up the launcher when EGS is not even close to feature parity isn’t all that great a use of effort. A clown car may be faster than a minivan but the van is still better for everyday use.
