    I don’t get the “launcher hate”. Yes, they’re not the most convenient, but I’m not playing in the launcher for hours.

    Currently I play moddedDragon Age Inquisition. The launch sequence is:

    Frosty Fix -> Frosty Manager -> Epic Games -> EA App -> Dragon Age.

    Takes a few seconds and I’m in the game.

      I dont hate them because theyre inconvenient. I hate them because there are so many of them. I don’t want more bloatware.

      Include the necessary binaries to access your servers in the game’s master executable, its not hard.

        I have several hundred games and a handful of launchers. I start one of them. Sometimes two when necessary. What’s the hassle?

          Because of bloatware, which they wrote. Its not that hard. Might not be a problem for you, but that doesn’t say anything about others.
