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.
