Because it doesn’t work
The launch is a piece of shit that doesn’t do the 2 thing it’s supposedly good at. Downloads are excessively slow and game launching doesn’t work half the time. It’s so slow that it has a noticeable effect on boot times.
Yes, I’d rather a steam monopoly than have to use that shit launcher ever again. Steam is a useable piece of software that doesn’t suck donkey cock.
It's a skill issue if you couldn't get it to work.
I couldn't break the damn thing.
It doesn’t work on Linux at all
It never worked in the first place. It’s so slow that disabling brought seconds back to my boot times.
I can't figure out how to stop EGS from pushing notifications that don't go away without clicking on them in Windows.
And occasionally it will just push a quasi-notification through just the app to make it start flashing on the taskbar and forcing itself over other open apps. Nothing even is happening it just desperately wants to be on top.
An absolute garbage fire of a game launcher, barely worth the free games it gives. (and seeing as I don't play them I guess fully not worth)
Oh Linux. My bad carry on.
