Why do you want to ban third party launchers? Wouldn't having more control over your launcher by having access to third party launchers be a benefit? I'm confused, I don't know what this is.

When I launch a game from steam I would like it to launch from steam. Not launch a launcher which then launches the game. Why would I ever want to launch a launcher to launch my game when I'm doing it from steam. If I want choice so bad I'll go and buy it from the 2nd launcher. But I didn't. I bought it from steam. Cause I want steam to launch my game.

OOOH!! I see what you mean!

I thought you were talking about like... Using a different Steam launcher to browse and launch everything. I don't know, I'm not a big gamer...

Thanks for clarifying!
