Comment on Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford says his hopes on Epic Store were 'overly optimistic or misplaced'
JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 2 months agoI always say the reason they give so many free games is because the real price is in having to use that goddamn launcher

It does what it needs to do, you open it, your installed games list is on the left, click and play.

It really doesn’t, I tried finishing Industria while I had no internet and that electron piece of shit refused to open even though I set it up to work offline in the settings, thankfully the game had no DRM so I was able to finish it just by opening the exe.

LOL the Steam launcher is literally just a web browser. It’d be Electron if it were built today, but it was built before Electron existed.

Never had an issue with offline play, so there, my anecdote is just as valid as yours

No, you don’t need a launcher to run an exe. lol

You realize there’s more DRM free games on Epic than on Steam even though there’s less games overall? If your standard for a good launcher is being able to start the game from a .exe then I’ve got bad news about Steam…
