re: this article.

The title is a joke. “Free, but you have to make an EGS account” is a bit too rich for me.

    You can disable all of that on Steam, up to and including the store itself (the launch option is -no-webhelper). None of that is forced.

    Edit: I believe you can also use the SteamPipe CLI, but thats less user friendly.

      “JuSt UsE a LaUnCh OpTiOn To DiSaBlE iT!”

      It’s about what each company wants the default behavior/UI of their program to be, and on that question, Epic wins since by default you can launch your games from the front page and there’s no marketing pop up when you launch the program.

        So you agree that its not forced than, unlike what you originally said. You just don’t like that its opt-out.

          I’m using the term “forced” the same way the person I was replying to was using it and comparing both stores using the same criterias.

          Sorry buddy, I’m not going to argue with you anymore.
