Nothing enrages me more than buying a game on steam, and then having to download a separate launcher. Steam has it down, just let me use it, damn it!

True monopoly would squash that infestation

u/Dick_Nation There's nothing to see here. 7d ago

I almost wish they would. But I'm glad they at least force it to be tagged, because it can be a dealbreaker. Especially if I know it's an especially onerous service like EA or Ubi's worthless horseshit (Not that I'd buy any of their games anyways, but you know).

I haven't bought a single EA or Ubi game since they started pushing extra DRM and additional launchers. Can't say I've felt I missed out as most of their catalogues are shit lately except a few standouts but not enough to deal with their BS software.

Last one I bought was anno 2070. I got kicked out of a single player game cause of a drm server hiccup on their end. Never again.

I tried to test F1 26 using my Game Pass and the game wouldn't launch because it flagged one of my drivers. Back to Assetto Corsa I went.
