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.
