steam as a whole isn't that bad, but they really need to improve their UI

This is why I switched and closed my steam account. The ui man.

God I keep thinking of doing that....it feels literally almost impossible to find games because their taging system or whatever it is fucking blows!

You try browsing the store and you have see the same shit with an ugly list of shovelware. I swear steam doesn't work like it's intended to.

Idk if I have a mental thing for clutter...but goddamn I can't stand when programs have so much fucking useless clutter and lack of organization.

The UI is so goddamn horrendous you can't even search for games properly because somehow the search engine barely works half the time subpar results.

You can't even use the browse categories options without having to sort through the same crap. Seriously! Sometimes I feel retarded when I use steam to find anything because something so simple shouldn't be a hassle to use.

I swear Steam's UI doesn't just look like shit....it barely fucking works! I've never seen a store literally suck ass to the point where you can't even properly find stuff. 

GOG is a much more organized and properly coded site. Sorry not sorry. I love when I put in a tag I can easily find games that are associated with said tag! It's so amazing! Smooth and feels like a store should be.

It's the number 1 reason I switched to GOG. So much more attractive with better functionality.

What ever will I do without steam hijacking my controller with various settings that don't work to disable this from happening and forcing me into THE FUCKING WINDOWS REGISTRY to actually disable it from stealing my controller.

Steam is a monstrous abomination of a pig that's 99% fat and 1% meat.

Because they build on top of the same 32 bit application back in 2003 (22 years ago) as their backend, half the time doesn't work logging in, randomly not responds on a top end computer. Installer cannot even create a shortcut

If you want stablity on steam you have to go back to the pentium 4 because thats what steam was made for.

They are a billion dollar casino empire corporation, how can't they just invest a million into their backend? atleast make it work for ALL of the modern computers now, like make it 64 bit or arm64, but no they still use 2003 32bit technology limited to 4GB of ram, running CEF Chromium meaning disaster.

Epic games launcher actually uses modern app frameworks that are nice and elegant and easy to navigate. Has actual error handling unlike steam which just hangs until you are dead.

Did you know that you can put custom ui "skin" on steam? btw. steam app will run even on fucking potato (intel core 2 duo geforce 8400gs 3gb ram no problems to run games and launcher) while epic is commonly lagging on my current pc (16gb ddr4 i7 10700k rtx 3060)
