2 GB availableHow TF did they manage it, that the Linux Version needs 10x as much storage as the Mac version?
Based on the title of the post, it’s an .appimage so I assume it ships all neccessary dependencies in it as well?
Wouldn’t this also be true of the Windows version though? Windows applications usually ship alongside any libraries they use.
2GB seems way too excessive.
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?
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…
chicken… egg…
Accurate analogy/train of thought… not.
We are all to blame. But it’s just the way the pendulum is swinging now.
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)
I didn’t want this trash when I had Windows. I want it so much less now on Linux because is heavily vibe coded.
If any games require this going forward, I will never buy them. It was disgusting to use before when it was human written, but now it’s not only a major security vulnerability, but it’s for sure dog shit code that was generated by script kiddies using LLMs trained on stolen data.
Fuck Epic.
r/fuckepic …oh
