[–] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago (1 child) The only launcher (if it is?) I will allow is Steam. Other wise just won’t play the game or 🏴☠️. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BionicBeaver3000@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago I tolerate both steam and heroic. I can see how a launcher is useful for centralized library management (updates and reinstallation), but I also see how it is a lot of concentrated attention and potential adspace / datamining tool. I tolerate steam because they have good features & an okay track record, and heroic because I want to receive the free epic games but do not want to give them real estate on my pc. permalink fedilink source parent
