This is so sad, they doesn't even try to hide it

Epic Games has a new launcher available to download now, which was redesigned with AI. The company says it "vibe coded" the new launcher, and claims it's "way faster" than the current version, as well as 46% faster to start up compared to Steam. Epic Games has set up a landing page where you can download the new launcher, as well as browse its new enhancements.

"Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look," wrote Epic Games in a blog post discussing the new launcher.

They are barely trying. It's nearly an insult actually. "This is all you slugs deserve".

The people fund bad companies

The people vote for bad politicians

The people get no respect... who is to blame?

We are all to blame. But it's just the way the pendulum is swinging now.

Decades and decades of defunding education while damaging the people's ability to think critically with a neverending flood of brain-rot?

Due to the political parties that the people kept/keep voting in...

Not surprising. Timmy has been promoting AI use for years and complaining about Valve because they mandate disclosure.

Yeah, and they announced they're gonna make EAC v2. It's going to be fun running vibe coded garbage with root privileges (or whatever, I don't play their games so I glossed over the details)
