    I mean isnt steam a third party too? I agree that having to use two third -party applications to play a game is too much. Just try to remember Steam used to be hated too until they became indispensable.

      It’s fine if I buy it though steam, but if I buy a game on steam, I’ll be pissed if another launcher pops up. For no bullshit at all, GOG is better because it’s DRM free.

            Try it for yourself then

            If you have a DRM free game on GOG or Epic then you can launch the application directly

            If you have a game with DRM then on GOG you need galaxy and on Epic you need the launcher

      I just want an .exe I can throw into whatever folder I want, that launches the game and doesn’t open a launcher or storefront(steam included). I don’t care about all the useless achievements and progress bullshit, not to mention tracking data. I buy on GOG when possible, but not every game is on there.

      If you buy a game on steam they are the second party. The developer/publisher would be a third party.
