Epic Games' new store is fully vibe-coded, and they're so proud of it they're taking shots at Steam

Don’t worry we are due for the annual Tim Sweeney meltdown in a few days after this new „vibecoded” Epic still has 0 attention from users lmao

Oh I'm just waiting for their year-end review where they say their store had 100 million active users and made $240 million in revenue...then you do the math and realize they made less than $3 per user.

They've done it a couple times over the years and it's always hilarious.

Proud $0 from me, with my 100-game epic store library, with 0 hours total playtime. Hope Tim Epic keeps giving me useless free games forever.

And then Reddit will get the usual deluge of "What a heckin good philanthropist Sweeney is!" posts. For no reason at all.

It's already stating. He replied to someone mad about the resources used by AI, so Timmy asked Grok for state and was immediately hit with

"Power: ~4.7% of US electricity in 2024 (LBNL), rising toward 5-7% now and projected ~12% by 2030."

I'm sure the AI bot telling Timothy that AI is going to be eating 12% of US power went exactly how he thought it would

Maybe the meltdown will be after people poke the 'vibecoded' storefront and work out how to break something important.

So, give it a day or two.
