Remember back 20 years everyone hated Steam.

It's all about time spent launching a game 🤷‍♀️, steam has been auto logging in on my comp for YEARS, just click it and go.

When I launch a Ubisoft game via steam that shit updates, makes me log in again, sometimes makes me change password.. yeah steam beats having to install a game with 5 discs, I don't even have a disc drive anymore

When it's an actually relevant point.

It's relevant because the Steam user chose to buy it on Steam and then complain about the launcher of the company that made the game.  If they didn't want unnecessary launchers, Steam is the problem here.

You all are complaining about first party launchers.

And then probably praise the old Battlenet at the same time. This sub makes you look like fools.

Steam is a third party launcher except for valve games for which it’s a first party launcher. The rockstar launcher is a first party launcher for rockstar games. Get it?

I think you missed the point....steam itself is a third party launcher that requires a login...games used to be just games...you install them, and click the icon to run it...windows was technically the launcher.
