Anti-piracy company Denuvo is tired of gamers saying its DRM is bad for games: "It's super hard to see, as a gamer, what is the immediate benefit" (www.gamesradar.com)

Launchers are also shit and should be eliminated. Aside from Steam who actually put in the work to make a decent one.

I never said I was in favor of launchers, either - they're annoying. I only pointed out they're the visible ones. I'm trying to figure out just how far the hate for "everything 3rd-party" goes. I'm trying to qualify the statement.

I'm helping by providing direct evidence that gamers hate even mild inconveniences. I have hatred in my heart and soul for the EA launcher, for the Ubisoft launcher and for any other 3rd party launcher that isn't steam.

Anything that isn't the game itself is worthy of hate if it does anything but enhance the enjoyment of the game.
