I mean technically steam is a third party launcher and uplay likely is a first party launcher

Yeah, I would be happy if we could change it to "fuck mandatory launchers".

This is a detail we all conveniently ignore and will keep ignoring.

Because Steam is extremely reliable. Outages are rare. The same can't be said for other launchers.

It's bad when your first-party launcher feels like an economy class ticket compared to the rest.

At least Steam almost always works. My Paradox launcher breaks like once a month.
