Did he/she lie? Steam is not even the least bad launcher. GOG offers DRM free games that don't even require a launcher.

Also don't forget that Valve probaly insane ammount of money with Microtransactions and Lootboxes and has essentially implemented NFTs into their games (without a blockchain) years before that word even existed.

Who said it was untrue? Just haven't heard that kind of thing said with deep angry sincerity since it was released.

Ah sorry, thought you implied that its an outdated view.

Fair enough. I think the only word I would disagree with out of the original statement is "useless."

"proprietary walled garden launcher that spy on its customers" is pretty accurate.
