    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.

      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.

      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)
