Of all the games i collected there i played none. Slow af luncher and even worse library search than steam. Gonna be interesting see the backlash if they finally close down

I got through Alan Wake 2 on it and that's it, that's the only game I was willing to put in that effort for, and it's now an active hindrance to my replaying it. "I should finish off new game+ - nah."

I bought Subnautica on Steam when I wanted to replay it, despite having it free on Epic, just because it was easier than dealing with their trash.

You've played none but have assessed the speed of the application? Hmm. Doubtful.

Launching games the first time might take a bit just to find your game by virtue of the hundreds sitting there but subsequent launches are just as easy as steam from the system tray icon. Click for context menu, click game.
