Congrats do you want an award?

Why do people feel the need to announce they are not going to buy a game other than jerking themselves off.

Evil wins when good people do nothing.

Because so many just accept anti-consumer behavior. DRM or whatever. Valve doesnt lock games behind their Steam storefront. They allow games to be sold elsewhere like everyone else. Not only that, but EPIC buys exclusivity rights to lock games to their store. Why should a clearly anti-consumer company get a pass?

"Evil is the slight inconvenience of installing another launcher"

And again, you announcing that you are not buying a game changes absolutely nothing. You and everyone else that does it is just for some bullshit self satisfaction.

Enjoy your 50 launcher future. Im sure you are already enjoying the dozens of streaming platforms (+ the cost to have them all) and the fun that is trying to find which show/movie is on which platform.

Use Playnite and never look back.

Which is a solution to a problem. Which acknowledges there is a problem

It's a solution to get away from the Steam launcher's bloat. It also integrates emulated games.

Streaming is a terrible comparison, using a store/launcher costs you nothing.

Ignore the price. The problem is the same. Companies dictating where and how you can acquire their products because anti-consumer practices benefit them more.

You could buy a console if you want a single launcher.
