The worsed betrayal is when you buy the fucking game on steam, and then it STILL asks you to use that stupid 3rd party launcher. Like, come on bro.

Steam is by technicality third party launcher but i see what you mean

Yeah most of those are first party launchers. Steam is the third party launcher for everything not published by Valve.

At least the 2K launcher has been discontinued

I don’t mind Epic. They give me free games. I just got Civilization

Add Steam to the list. Yeah is an ok launcher, but at the end of the day we don’t need it.

I’m okay with epic since they give away free games EVERY week. Fuck everyone else though

Xbox is better than most but still has a bunch of weird issues and some games aren’t cross launcher with steam for some dumb reason

Don’t tell me what I hate.
I am completely indifferent to launchers. They do not impact me in any meaningful way.

I bought Dragon Age Veilguard because it’s the game I said that I’d buy as soon as EA made it: no EA launcher requirement, no EA account required in game, no live service monetization.

I’m fine with games having a dedicated launcher to them, like elite dangerous for example, but if you’re going to install an entirely separate launcher, with its own store, and I can’t simply link my steam account for log in, I’m getting a refund.

As a recent console to pc convert I never really understood why PC gamers complained about these 3rd party launchers but since switching…fuck me some of these launchers are dogshit. Looking at you Ubisoft.
Padwah-
I’m old, so I prefer the time when we didn’t have any ‘launchers’ and just loaded the game. I personally don’t get everyone’s attachment to the various shopfronts!

Technically steam is also a third party launcher. Most of what you dislike are actually the first party launchers
SquidWhisperer

Shouldn’t the meme say fuck first-party launchers? Steam is a third-party launcher for every game not published by Valve.
Hate it but keep using it
Steam is a 3rd party launcher
