“Oh, cool. I don’t want my 6 different launchers to all start every time I turn on my computer, so I’ll only start the launcher that has the game I want to play, so long as I remember what launcher it is.”
“Oh, awesome. I started the launcher. Now it’s showing 278GB worth of updates to download since I haven’t opened this one for a few months. Guess I’ll start playing tomorrow.”
Exactly, I’ll start the game shortcut which launches the needed game store and then the game, done.
None of the apps is in auto-start.
Updates are off course done via winget.
Please stop making up problems where there aren’t any. I already do acknowledge that launchers and game stores aren’t an ideal solution.
But they work fine.
I dont hate them because theyre inconvenient. I hate them because there are so many of them. I don’t want more bloatware.
Include the necessary binaries to access your servers in the game’s master executable, its not hard.
I have several hundred games and a handful of launchers. I start one of them. Sometimes two when necessary. What’s the hassle?
Because of bloatware, which they wrote. Its not that hard. Might not be a problem for you, but that doesn’t say anything about others.
Bloatware and probably spyware. They’re all out to get your data.
