Everything except making a store people wanted to use? Ethan Evans, who was previously Vice President of Prime Gaming at Amazon, has a short retrospective of trying to take on Steam.
I mean, I have. Spider-Man 2 crashes on boot for me. No second launcher there. Ironically this is the game where they took out the obligation to sign in to PSN. Go figure.
I mean, sure, they could take out all the features that are crashing, but my problem isn’t with the rendering features, my problem is my game doesn’t work.
You are conflating having a bug in the launcher with the launcher being the problem. This just doesn’t follow. What is a problem is having a gamebreaking bug in a game that you’re selling to the public.
I’m not gonna repeat myself any further. You get my point, you’re fixating on this to make a fanboyish argument for Steam, I get it. No need to keep going around this loop.

The second launcher is my problem, because I don’t get any choice whether I use it, and EA obviously doesn’t care whether it works.
Keep licking those boots, surely it will pay off one day :)
That is a weird last line in a conversation entirely predicated on whether we each think that Valve having a monopoly is a good thing.
