I really hope they will implement workshop mods sooner rather than later. 1) Gives us proper Linux support. 2) using mod managers to keep that all up to date is annoying.

Emulation is the backbone of my Linux gaming partly for this reason - though, to be fair, most things that use launchers and want me to sign up for unwanted accounts don't generally overlap with my gaming tastes anyway.

I do enjoy wondering around giant open maps and kicking random people off of ledges like in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I don't know why, but I just enjoy watching the physics of enemies falling to their doom. The Jedi Knight games are another that is just fantastic in this way. Flinging storm troopers off ledges and to their doom.

Granted, it also made me giggle to play Black and White and pick up the little villagers and toss them about. Maybe I should seek therapy. Haha

Quoting: GroganHowever, that left me cold. What happens when they come and change my game again, and Steam forces it on me. It left me with a "Not Linked" icon on my menu screen (I don't have a "2K account" to link and I don't bloody want one) and a creepy "Connecting" splash (what are they connecting to?) that wasn't there before.

This! This right here is why I keep thinking I should just pack it in and spend my time playing Amiga or DOS or Atari games...

One more launcher, one more account they want you to make... why? So they can have an email address? So they can have names? What is the purpose? So they can sell you more shit? It is like going to a store to purchase something then being annoyed by people standing inside trying to sell you other things from a different store. Just stop this garbage! Launchers alone seem like lazy programming. Just try to detect hardware, set up some safe defaults and let the user set the settings. Most launchers don't even have that usage and are just there to get you to login or advertise unrelated crap!
They also break play time, as I can't count how many times I have opened a game, played, quit and forgot the launcher was running in the background. (Looking at you, Star Trek Online)

Goods news you miss nothing by not playing cyberpunk

Fairly certain it should be required for me to do so. Just waited for more fixes to be released. Huge fan of the Cyberpunk Genre, and it is one poorly represented in video games.

Goddamnit, Liam. Stop making me spend money. You may as well have just flown over here and typed in my numbers for me!

I could always use a Relaxing Room. Mine are usually far too busy. :P

Quoting: CorbenWhat's also fixed:
- Raytracing for nVidia cards in cyberpunk 2077
- EOS/EAC in Insurgency: Sandstorm

No idea, when these two things started to work with experimental, but they do currently not work with 7.0-4. This is awesome!

Nice! Definitely need to make some space for it now... I think Ray Tracing was the only reason I initially installed it in Windows.

I just wanted to say another thing that sucks about launchers is the "time played" is skewed horribly in a lot of my games becaue I close the game but not the launcher.

Quoting: scaineI've never once, ever, in over 1100 games, experienced a launcher which improved a game experience.

Minecraft has a useful launcher. That's the only one I know of though. Funny how people make even better ones to replace the one useful launcher I know of.

Conan Exiles has a new launcher, though it is a 'Funcom' Launcher that shows all the games you have, but it also helps with mod management, so that is nice.
