The new tiling stuff really is amazing. Together with the better multimonitor experience they surely are right about 'the best plasma release ever' ^^

I wonder if this is purely Valve verifying it or if Sega or the Devs actively strived for that?

Quoting: LeflAnd most people don't even buy those.
It would take a massive effort of the entire gaming community to fully boycott launchers. But most people don't care,

On the one hand, i can understand that sentiment, but on the other hand: someone has to start.
That line of argument is also used all the time with climate change, veganism and so on - but if everybody thinks that way, nobody will start and nothing will change.

Quoting: LeflI'm not arguing for launchers, I'm arguing against boycotts.

Without boycotts, publishers won't step down from their BS launchers though...

Quoting: legluondunetSteam should never accepted a launcher in a launcher that launch another launcher...

If only - that would have been almost as big of a service to humanity as making linux a viable gaming-plattform was.

Quoting: LeflA launcher only shows up at worst twice.

No, at worst, the launcher doesn't show up at all while being needed without justification.

Quoting: LeflLaunchers suck, yes. But they're not going to stop me from playing a game I want to play.

That's something everybody has to decide for themselves. I hope, you are saying this with a parrot on your shoulder though ;)

I still haven't seen a clear confirmation if it is native on steam or still tainted by the EA App BS?

But as some are insane enough to not boycott 3rd party launchers, it is nice to see it being tweaked either way. Valve is really putting in the effort.

Clearly, Ubisoft want the Steam monies

That doesn't sound like it to me. Well, they want the money, sure - but they really don't put in anywhere close the effort needed to be worth it. No integration into steam, but instead another annoying launcher that offers nothing but trouble? Nah, i'll direct my money towards publishers/devs that have earned it.
