      As a rimworld fan, it’s wild to me the lack of mod tools is so far down on the list. Steam Workshop is an incredible resource for gaming, and it’s the #1 reason I use steam over anything else. Epic is continuing their foot-shooting obsession by being so steadfastly against it.

          Yeah even fucking Xbox have had a built in LFG system for over a decade. I’d say Epic only views a launcher as a tool for data and revenue collection but considering how many years it took them to make a shopping cart function I can’t even claim that. They are just fully inept at absolutely everything.

    The question is why did it take a meme to push Valve to fix its awful, decades old Steam loading time?

        It seems plausible they just didn’t care enough and the fix actually was easy. After this long of it being slow, I don’t understand why it would coincidentally happen now other than a complacent blindspot being awoken.

        I updated my client and startup still takes 15 seconds. Granted, my boot drive is a SATA3 Samsung 850 EVO, but 15 seconds is still much slower than any other program I have, even Adobe programs. So I don’t know if the update works universally for everyone or something went wrong.
