It's an incentive for devs to put their back catalogues to EGS, after they just laid off 800 employees because they spend too much money. Is it just me, or does everyone besides Epic know what the problem is with EGS?

Rather than paying devs for old or new games perhaps Epic could put that money into making their launcher/store good?

The Epic launcher is intensely slow, I've got a 13700k, 32GB RAM, RTX 4080, stupid fast nvme SSD etc. Everything on it should be instant, why does it take ages just to load my library? Why can I not select the library to display by default?

Why is the interface so slow and horrible? Where are all the features of its competitor steam?

Why after all these years has it not seen any real improvement at all?

Does Epic allow you to set your homepage to your library yet? Or does it still unnecessarily keep you to their store or some other useless page?

Nope, it stills drops you straight to the store.
