Yes, we're all very desperate to leave the Steam ecosystem, we're just waiting for ... checks notes ... a slightly faster launcher.

Yes, that's it: a slightly faster launcher.

    No, no. You forgot about this:

    The announcement post also warns that the vibe-coded Preview is currently “light on features”

    So a slightly faster launcher that is light on features!

    Wait, light on features? That's the current EGS, lol. What else are they gonna shave off? Launching a game? The UI so it is now in a command line? The whole store?

    That's actually a great feature. To be able to type launch from my terminal and not see the store... Fuzzy matching and list completion would even make it better - that could even tie into a store link. launch rocket gets you two games you own in a list and 3 marked with a store icon. Boom! Over to you, Valve
