I guess they’re giving up on convincing people to download their launcher.

      There is no benefit, I never claimed the launcher within a launcher was a benefit.

      The problem is the cancer that is Steam itself. We need more competing storefronts which don’t require the Steam launcher, and even better if there’s no launcher of any kind at all, just a binary to run to play the game.

        Gog? Itch? Plenty of developers choose to sell their games in DRM-free formats. Plenty of games don’t even cost money.

          Exactly, and I have written about how much I love GOG and Itch and why I hope they take more market share away from Steam.
