    Within 24 hours, Steam updated their launcher to be as fast or faster, without announcing it.

    (Insert “look what they need to do to match our power” meme here)

    I think I would stick with the tried-and-true product, instead of the new toy from people who say “coding is hard,” because the latter’s attitude is a red flag for quality.

    Breaking news: software written from the ground up in 2026 opens faster than software that’s been developed, extended, bloated, and maintained for over two decades.

    Steam releasing a performance patch so soon after makes it even funnier.

    Restoring from the system tray will save you 0.06seconds!!! How can Valve compete with that.!.

    Oh yeah, by being a decent platform for buying games.

    faster than steam

    We are setting a very low bar here… There is no person (I hope) who uses steam because the program itself is good… And the other publishers’ launchers being crap doesn’t make it good
