The Epic Games Launcher is the wildest junk piece of software that a company with a that amount of money has ever produced.

It’s a gateway to other software and gets forced and shoved upon users to gain marked share. But there should be no reason for it’s existence.

• Downloading Unreal Engine
  • Why isn’t there just a download archive (like unity has it 🔗)?`
  • Why can’t it detect custom engine builds? 🔗
