      And, around launch, didn’t have payment processors in multiple countries meaning people were just fucked by exclusives

      WTF. I would fucking love barebones launcher. I was holding off using epic launcher because it was so laggy and slow when it first came out. I was using legendary before, but stopped using Epic altogether. Might just give it a try again.

      I’m starting to feel steam is getting bloated and plain annoying. I just want a launcher to launch a game and pair with my friends after a long day at work. I don’t want a crappy browser following me around in the background. I already have a browser if I need it. We use a different app for voice so could do away with all the other bs as well.

        If all you want is to launch a game, why keep the ‘launcher’ at all? Games used to just… start. No separate program needed.
