And that's why having some competition is useful for consumers. I would like to see this trend to continue and game launchers improving not only startup times, but RAM usage and disk size usage. I just looked into my `.steam` directory, and it is taking up over 10GB of disk size, and I have only single game installed, that is only about 500MB in size.

Now patiently waiting for GOG answer to this competition.

I don't think this is a statement about competition. This is not a metric anyone has competed on so far, it's being made into a press release.
