Comment on Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually)

I don’t. Launching things is my desktop environment’s job.
Since the rise of game publishers’ launchers, I have to use my (desktop) launcher to launch a (storefront’s) launcher to launch a (publisher’s) launcher to launch the game. It’s probably the best example of the yo dawg meme I have ever seen. In other words, ridiculously annoying, not to mention wasteful of my time and system resources.

Even better when the desktop launcher launches the epic games launcher which launches the rockstar launcher.

In that example, Epic is the storefront and Rockstar is the publisher. It’s exactly what I described.
Maddening, isn’t it?
