Why would you need an account to play a single player, non cloud hosted game?

Shitty publisher mandated launchers.

Good, I wonder if they removed it for Xcom 2 yet. I haven't played that since they sideloaded that crap into my steam install.

Didn't they announce that there would not be a launcher? Also removed for Civ VI.
