    I didn’t know Origin was still a thing. I’m still sore they bought Origin (Ultima, Wing Commander) and turned it into… a download service.

      …that’s okay; in star citizen the vapid simulator download service is called electronic access

        >buys game on steam
        >game installs and executes Origin on launch
        >Origin launches actual game

        Ok, I didn’t buy the game on a clown launcher. Now what?

          You were already on one.

          buys game on steam

          Yes, Steam good (or rather, not bad, so far) but their launcher could… need some improvements. And the workshop a download button.

          Point being is to not buy a game with launchers…

          It is called discipline, nobody gonna die by forgoing a game engaging in anti consumer behaviour
