I did not realize they were trying to compete in the first place.

The only launcher I use the same amount if not more is gog.com. Give me those good old games.

GoG is just the best. They don't have all the nice things Steam has, like workshop for example, but they compensate for it by actually selling you a game, not just renting it out with drm.

GOG providing installers is absolutely amazing.

I use gog, but fuck the launcher. Fuck all launchers. An icon on desktop is all I want.

Thankfully it's easy to get no matter the storefront.

Maybe it's nice on windows, but on other systems, got still relies on steam.

Lutris is just a pain compared to proton. I'm not going to say that its terrible anymore but 90% of the games that I play regularly on steam just work straight out of the box.
