Too many launchers nowadays. It's becoming like movies and tv streaming services.
It's inconvenient for sure, but monopolies are worse.
Steams competition is worse than a steam monopoly. Im not giving Ubi or EA or Epic money for their shitty ass store fronts and anti consumer bullshit
Those companies have changed their own launcher so many times as well that it doesn't give me any hope that they will continue to exist or continue to let me borrow the games I bought from them.
From the last time I had to use EA's launcher, I still couldn't easily pick an install location. It's incredible how shitty it is.
