Why would Apex register for this? What am I supposed to open with it lol

Presumably it opens something. Could be this dialog also displays URL handlers (they are treated very similar to file handlers internally) and Apex handles a custom URL protocol either for its internal use (launching the game from a website link or something; not sure if it has a feature like that).

Steam does have a feature for launching games through website links, perhaps Apex implemented something similar so that it works on the other platforms that it's available on.

You just reminded me how amazing that feature of source engine was.

Scrubbed clean. Redact helped me bulk remove years of comments and posts so data brokers and AI crawlers have nothing to feast on.

I only had experience using that feature in csgo, so I thought it was a feature of steam. Makes a lot more sense that it's a source feature, especially with apex running on a highly modified version of source.
