2K removes its pointless launcher from Civilization 6, while also announcing that Civilization 7 players will never have to suffer launching the game twice for no reason

Wait, what? A game company got rid of a launcher instead of making it more tedious and packed with ads? Is this real life?
Except, this time you will need 2k account
Imagine that they removed something pointless.
I’m really happy about this. It makes me hopeful that they will do something about the 2K launcher that comes with every game
I can’t get into civ 6 for some reason. Civ 5 was so fun and addicting and simpler.
Yeah instead you have to make a 2k account and it’s not optional. It’s now worse.
Oh and btw, you’ll also need a 2K account now!
Even small wins are wins, I guess lol
Now give us steam cloud saves without all that shitty system they had for years.
Around a year ago I started using the executable directly to avoid the launcher, but some upgrade reverted things to “normal”.
Now do xcom 2
I don’t want a launcher, I wanna be able to click on the.exe and play the game
Everything is pointless if you think about it
That’s surprising, and really good news. Publishers take notes.
What’s the word on this one? Are they sticking to that shit they did in Civ 6, or can I finally move on from 5?
Beautifull
can they do this for XCOM2 and all older games as well? Their launcher has been a plague for so long.
As an avid civ 6 player, it is strange actually hitting play and it launching now.
“But wait, it’s worse!”
2K: “That’s the point.”
About us who play prior games like Civ V… fuck us, I guess?
That’s nice. Now if they could just fix all the graphics bugs.
wait but how will i select divx 11 or what ever, game was ass on 12
I actually still play this game on switch, the 3 minutes loading process is better than having to launch a launchers launcher. . .
For real though, what the actual hell was the point of Civ 6’s launcher
A victory for mankind.
But you still need a 2K account?
Thats cool can they do this with all of their games
Why is it worse to create a 2K account?
It still requires a 2k account though which isn’t as bad as a client but it’s still unnecessary and really annoying.
I’ve been replaying the Bioshock trilogy and it’s such a pointless bs app.
Now they have to remove the 2k launcher from the bioshock games
Wait? Good guy 2k?
A little too late. This was my first Civ and I already decided with all their shenanigans that I’m not sticking around to get invested. It’s my last Civ as well now.
Thank goodness. I am very tired of having half a dozen launchers on my computer in addition to steam. I just feel like that crap running in the background doesn’t do my computer any favors while I’m trying to play a game. I need the tiny waves on the shores of my nation to be in 4K dammit.
I wonder if they do that if the boderlands movie didn’t bomb and lose tons of money
