I see this, and all I imagine is forced launchers and required account log ins to play your games.
Also might affect release of Sony games on GOG.
How else you do you imagine them being able to track your purchases across platforms?
For sure. Unfortunately PC gamers wille at that shit right up without a moment’s hesitation. Just look at how popular steam is.
You do know that something like 75-99% of games on steam don’t have any drm, right? You can play most games right from the exe.
None ive ever purchased have been drm/launcher free. Even binding of Isaac and terraria need that bloated garbage excuse for a launcher open to run.
Terraria is precisely the game I ran from executable alone.
I don’t think you’ve ever tried.
you probably don’t even know what, or where the executable is located for any of those games
Running the app directly through steam/ the freedesktop launcher steam makes should work without internet access

no INTERNET needed, only wifi or hardwired local network
