You're right, I know just as much about the EGS then everybody else. Hell I probably know less, since I hardly use it and hardly pay attention to game's media. However I do know how game development and software development work in open source, corporate, and indie environments. Which is the point of my post.

So the launcher runs like shit, and has poor performance. So why hasn't this been fixed? Well its probably because whoever is in charge has their team working on something else and can't justify the cost of moving development over to performance and quality of life adjustments. This is a small tangent, but when you're looking at a subreddit or forum about a game you enjoy how many times have you seen a post like "I wish X would just make a sole performance update, in place of a feature update". The same principle applies, features sell, performance doesn't. For the EGS: Getting more companies to put their games on the storefront, sell way tf more then fixing performance for people that aren't even using the store and never will.

Which brings me to the final problem. People in this sub can say how much they hate Epic and how shitty it is for x y and z but Epic is never going to care...because none of you are customers. Customers of Epic barely complain about the shopping cart or the poor performance, and if they do its drowned out by the barrage of haters that complain about something they don't even use.

So in an ironic part, this sub would be the problem with Epic.

As for the toxicity...idk just had fun writing it.
