I have to say, Epics vibe is just malicious and toxic. Steam is silent and just lets things speak for themselves. What is the value of an idea if it does not work in the real world?
I just wish the people at Epic collectively took some vacation and came back with a less breathing down neck attitude towards everything. Just chill out, relax, it is a browser for searching, buying and downloading games
The messaging from Epic was antagonistic to users and disrespects the efforts the engineers put in to making this new client. "We vibecoded it" minimizes the fact that this almost certainly wasn't a one shot prompt and publish but that real people had to work on and test this before releasing it.
It felt like a message to investors rather than users.
Epic can't even bribe users into using their garbage platform. There are people out there who would rather pay Valve (or GOG) for a game, rather than redeeming the free copy on EGS, that's how pathetic their position is. Of course they have to stoop to stupid publicity stunts like this
I think that’s why the Steam client is so slow. They don’t have any pressure forcing them to fix the performance.
Agreed, their entire communication relies on taking jabs at "the other guy". Just make a good product.
If you need to tell people you're better than someone, you probably aren't.
Valve can rely on their community to be malicious and toxic - for example, the post we're commenting under!
