Both of them are using a form of embedded Chromium to display the store, no? Is this really worth competing about then? xD
The Starcraft launcher goes under 1 second on a pentium 1, there.
I had to work with embedded chromium once. It’s how I became a watcher on bug #126, which took 9 years to resolve. 9 years for “what happens when I click a link in embedded chromium” 🍿🤓

Why wouldn't you just set the link to launch the user's browser, instead of expecting Chromium to implement special case behavior?
That is the bug:
Wait "which took 9 years to resolve." isn't the linked ticket resolved as "won't fix"‽
Did they change enough that it no longer happens thereby fixing it indirectly? Or do they no longer care that it might confuse users?
Yes, but only for the store I think. There are also other game views you already own and other features too that is not displaying a store.
