Galaxy definitely sucks, but to say it's worse than EGS seems pretty far out there. EGS has been caught snooping around files and taking system logs without notice on top of just being overly resource intensive, totally bare bones and easily broken.
I'm talking user experience. egs used to be the slowest app I've ever used but right now egs starts and works faster for me than gog. also its video player works faster than steam's, by like a mile. I don't know if it's just me because I never hear anyone complain about steam's video player but for me it's so goddamn terrible in so many ways I want to punch a wall every time I'm curious about a game while browsing steam because the video just takes fucking ages to get going and the controls are horrendous. I end up just searching on YouTube.
