    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.

      I’m sorry Steam, is not you. But that new launcher is so slightly faster… I can’t resist.

      tbh it was a legitimate issue with the epic launcher the last time i used it: everything loaded for three seconds each time since it was some sort of prohibitively bloated framework web app

      The hilarious part is, yes, I don’t care how fast my launcher is.

      But… also, Steam is by far the slowest, least responsive program on my computer.

      “Faster than Steam” feels like a joke.

      I don’t use a lot of non-open source applications (and not a lot of desktop applications generally). Have they gotten so bad that the slowness of Steam doesn’t feel bad to people anymore?

        I think it’s just a select few people that have issues with Steam. I’ve never once thought or felt that steam was slow. Some games start up slow, but that’s not because of Steam. Just using the program is quite responsive.
