I'm not sure what you're responding to, but it wasn't anyone I said
It's not really an alternative to steam because it can't be used the same way. If epic is left open in the background online games randomly lag out due to epic, making it not a viable alternative.
It sounds like slime you're blaming your shitty internet on epic instead of providing an actual argument for why epic isn't actually an alternative (it is). You want to suck up to a monopoly, just be honest about it.
Epic force refreshes pages including the library, that's not a good thing. Don't use shit I don't want you to use. You can stop it auto updating the launcher though, which is a thing steam doesn't seem to allow. In general, I don't want any of my launchers doing things without me telling it to.
I have Epic on my computer, tons of games, even a handful I bought. It's better than it was at launch, by a lot, but it isn't something you can just leave open and trust to do fuck all for the most part. GoG is good for this, I can forget it's open for days because it doesn't do anything until you want it to
I actually wanted Epic to succeed enough that I messaged their support about the library being force refreshed, it's apparently intended. If all I wanted was to suck up to a monopoly, why would I put any effort in to making it usable for me?
