In Steam’s case, the slowness looks more likely just a side effect of it being a Chromium Embedded Framework application with a lot of extras bolted on. It’s simply not built efficiently.

The website, outside of the client is still slower than it used to be a good few years ago

What tracking does Epic need? “According to our analytics, 100% of users scroll to the free games banner on Tuesday at 5pm CEST, then leave and don’t come back for a week. What a mystery!”

Oh thanks for the reminder, I hadn’t opened epic so I can scroll down to the free games banner in a while.

You’d be appalled how much people in corporations earn for making these obvious observations…
