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

Epic Games’ Tim Sweeney announced yesterday that the company is going for “maximum AI acceleration,” and the results are already evident. The new Epic Games Store, now available for testing, is openly vibe-coded because, apparently, “programming is hard.” As the company itself explains , the new Epic Games Store is fully “vibe coded,” meaning all the work was done by AI programming agents rather than actual humans. The latter merely instructed the agents by typing prompts of what they wanted to get, with the happy little indentured bots performing exactly as they’re told.
