I might buy more from Epic if their launcher weren't So. Freaking. Slow. Even claiming the free game is such a chore that I can't be bothered to do it. It takes several minutes to load, responds sluggishly, and lags everything else on my computer the whole time it's running. The only game I play from them anymore is Celeste because I can start it without ever going through the launcher.

Also that they make the free game a "Purchase". In Steam and GoG you just add free games to your library with a click and get a confirmation. In Epic's Store you have to confirm to not being able to return the free game within 14 days and go through that slow confirmation dialog.
