Another reason why Epic Games sucks and why Steam is better -

My drives were like this: C: (SSD), D: (HDD), E: (HDD). I had games installed on E: for both, Steam and Epic.

I installed a new SSD, and I wanted to have it right after [ C: ], so it would be like this: C: (SSD), D: (SSD), E: (HDD), F: (HDD)

So I pushed [D:] and [E:] forward to [E:] and [F:] respectively, and assigned the new SSD to [D:].

Steam
I totally expected problems, but to my surprise, just like this it automatically noticed, that the disk with game library had its letter changed. I literally didn't have to do anything, Steam has the updated directory and the games normally continue to function as if nothing ever happened.

Epic Games
It doesn't know the games are already installed and the only option I see is to install again. When I'm trying to install the game in the new directory where the game is stored, it says the directory should be empty. LMAO, it's right there! bruh open your eyes! I can't find any options to point it to new directory, so I guess I'm expected to manually uninstall all games one by one from system app page and reinstall these again, one by one. It's even funnier, because when I'm trying to run the games manually from their directories, they don't work! They either crash or throw errors, that they're unable to get Epic Account ID. What a horrible platform.

Steam has convenient tools to migrate library, allows to conveniently manage multiple directories. I can move games of my choice between disks at any time. Even the music app I use has the option to migrate library - though there I manually had to point it to the new directory, it reported missing files at first, but I got it all working in just few clicks. All the playlists, song stats/settings and everything were retained.

But Epic? This platform is sooooooo budget, doesn't offer any features, interface is clunky and so slow to navigate, and now this. That's why I never buy anything there, I only have freebies they give.
