    Hallelujah. I don’t know why so many companies went down this route, particularly when it’s not the likes of Ubisoft or whatnot with their own desire to half-ass the attempt at making their own Steam. My guess for its removal is to better support Steam Deck, perhaps?

      Even CD Project Red added such shit. Instead of directly launching Witcher or Cyberpunk I now have to go through a(nother) launcher now. Pointless.

      Baldurs Gate 3 needed one from the beginning as well.

      I don’t get it.

        The game can collect data, if that’s what they’re after.

        My theory is that it’s all about advertising. It’s another point of contact with the consumer, and another opportunity to make sure every new release is presented to every potential buyer.

      At last we won’t have a repeat of mass effect legendary.

      Launch steam to play. Which launches Origin, which launches the mass effect launcher which is where you decide which game to play.

      So damn annoying, I think I made shortcuts to the exes to bypass most of that shit.

    So many old games from Ubisoft that I’d buy from GOG if they’d strip out their stupid launcher but here we are.

      Civ 7 comes out in a few months. Mafia allegedly later in the year. A new Borderlands is somewhere in there too.
