I guess they’re giving up on convincing people to download their launcher.

    Not gonna play them if they include their launcher after game is started from Steam lol.

    EDIT: I am very happy to hear that everyone hates them. EA as well as Rockstar has shown that their launchers are shit. On Steam Deck EA games often fail to start at all due to EA launcher updates, and Rockstar launcher takes around 3-5 minutes to start a fucking game (which should start instantly).

    I really wish Steam would put their foot down and stop these launchers. They are nothing but a nuisance and add no value for the customer.

    EDIT: Just to be clear, when EA Play joined Gamepass there wasn’t a separate launcher when you went to play an EA game on the Xbox. Steam could make this work with them and the other companies. They have enough pull to make this work - it would be greatly welcomed.

    Blizzard had plans to dump the launcher shortly after D3 2.0 dropped. Then they backpedaled and where like no wait launcher is great! 🤷‍♂️

    “Players on Steam will still have to connect Overwatch 2 to a Battle.net account, but they’ll have access to all of Steam’s amenities like their friends list and achievements.”

    Lol. Okay then.

    I’ve been boycotting Blizzard since the bNetd bullshit.

    Glad Steam lets you block entire publishers.
