    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.

          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.
