It is shockingly slow. If you go to the store tab it freezes up for 20+ seconds, just to show a few small jpegs and some text. It's baffling to see such poor performance from a games company that's used to accomplishing more complicated tasks in less than a 60th of a second.

It gets even more cursed if you look under the hood. You've probably seen Electron, right? Well they didn't invent that so clearly they can't use it. How about we use an old version of Unreal Engine, then use this to embed an even older version of Chromium Embedded Framework, and then we use that to render the UI with software rendering only? Genius!
