Even if I do, its not like it takes long to open it again. We're talking about a matter of seconds.

Tech giants, namely AI chuds, will trot out a solution to a problem that either doesnt exist or is a minor inconvenience at worst

The reason epic mentions that is because the epic launcher had ENORMOUS load time issues, sometimes taking minutes to open.

Edit: Timed it out of curiousity, currently 55 seconds to load fully. The arcade machine i built takes 37 seconds to load into windows AND fullscreen open a launcher.

Steam takes 8 seconds including a small update, that's the competition.

I only close it when I shut down my whole PC and it's on auto launch at start-up so it just boots up with everything else and I wouldn't notice it if it took half a minute. It's such a nothingburger to try to brag about.

Because it's the only thing they could improve on over Steam. They're that desperate.
