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.

Quoting: naaarfIt'll still launch Ubisoft Connect, sadly... Nadeo confirmed it on Twitter.

Aaaand with that i lost all interest.
Get your shit together ubisoft, nobody wants an utterly useless additional launcher that doesn't offer even a hint of additional value.

Even EA seems to slowly get it - the Dead Space Remake apparently comes without the EA App!
If you are even worse than EA, you are clearly on the wrong path...

If that's a game for you, then even the new price is worth the playtime you will probably get out of it tbh ^^

I managed to damage the EA app for fallen order beyond repair (lest re-creating the prefix) - man did that improve the UX!
Unfortunately, that also prevented achievements and cloudsave to function, but i guess that's the lesser evil.

But after giving the Origin/the new App another chance for 5 bucks, this surely was the last time i gave them money as long as they insist of annoying users with this abomination...

Quoting: mr-victoryThis time KDE stole from Microsoft, the new tiling feature is probably inspired by Win11's corresponding feature.

Fancyzones or something like that? Yeah that is kinda similar - but i guess once every ten years MS also has a decent idea that indeed is FOR the user for a change ;)
