I get that. And I also refuse to buy new games that need a launcher.

However, I already bought games that need this and I just really want to play them as I paid for them. So for now, I will just have to accept it. Doesn't make it less annoying though.

But I do refrain from buying new games that need launchers. Who knows, if enough of us do this, they might actually stop this nonsense.

It is ridiculous indeed. With just my steam games, I now have a launcher for Ubisoft, EA, Rockstar and even still Origin (or again actually), because EA reverted back to Origin (PC only) for Sims 3 players, because the EA launcher will not start the game with (store) dlc.

I miss the times where you just bought a game, installed it, perhaps download some extra updates for the game itself and you were actually ready to play.

And man, that EA launcher! 😭
