    You know those Electron apps that technically look like a piece of native software, but feel like streaming a web page through an ungodly slow VPN?

    That’s Epic.

    It’s slow, clunky, missing features, and it simply feels like some random store selling you games - you don’t feel like something stable that will exist in 5 years when you want to download them again.

      Steam runs on Chromium too. I haven’t used Epic so I can’t compare the two, but it’s one of the reasons that Steam can be clunky sometimes too.

        The store, yes. Steam Input, Proton, the hook for filesystem save writes, the overlay, and so many more important features, do not.
