Amazing how slow development has been for their launcher. I don’t know what is holding it back but the UI and lack of features seem like easy fixes for a company with those levels of resources.
It’s insanity. They do have all the money in the world so I’m happy to claim free games. Never going to buy there unless the game will never come to steam (Alana Wake 2 being the one exception).
Fortnite making them shit ton of money hand over fist is what’s holding them back probably. Much easier to just throw money at the store and buy exclusives and giveaways than taking away manpower from their money maker into a project that might make them money in the future. New hires that aren’t put on Fortnite or UE5 probably have a high opportunity cost in their business model.

Well, they’ve been pushing all their capital toward exclusives and free giveaways.

I got so tired of being logged out and having to jump through so many captcha hoops to get back in that I don’t even claim the free games anymore.
Logging into Steam is crazy easy and I never get logged out.
I don’t think Alan Wake II will ever come to Steam. It is published by Epic Games.
Guess I’m just never playing it, then.
So many thousands of amazing games I can play instead.
Oops, sorry. To be clear I bought Alan Wake 2 on Epic

True, but I would have thought they would be able to see the value in the future investment of the platform.
Yeah but they must appease shareholders with quarterly profits. Also Tim Sweeney wants to buy moar land.
As someone who has worked in tech their entire career, it’s deeply depressing and infuriating how correct this is.
