Maybe I’m the odd one out but I like the individual game launchers. Having everything grouped into steam, epic, ubisoft, etc can be convenient but then you run into issues when those services have downtime. Not to mention they include lots of bloat (if I want a program to download and run 1 specific game, I don’t want to download an entire store, library, forums, and social network along with it).
The issue is when the launcher for that one game is also a launcher for a bunch of other games you don’t want, is otherwise unnecessarily bloated, and full of ads…
May as well just Steam…
Edit: I don’t mind a launcher for a game, if it’s just for the one game. Do me some updates and news about happenings in game while it installs? Cool, I can dig.
Try and shove 7 other games down my throat and sell me a bunch of shit, have a launcher that’s unnecessarily large for basically being a download/install manager? Get fucked.
