Today’s update for It Takes Two adds support for Steam Deck and game invites through the Steam friends list, and removes the need for the EA App launcher.

Nice seeing a game not needing a third-party launcher, but instead just works with the Steam launcher.

Isn’t Steam itself a third party launcher?

Yes, origin is the first party launcher

It most transactions, the 2 parties are the purchaser and the seller.

If you buy a game from Steam, using the steam launcher isn’t a third-party launcher.
If you bought a game directly from EA, their launch isn’t a third-party launcher.
If you bought the game from Steam, the EA launcher is third-party.

The steam launcher is still the third party launcher

If you buy an xbox game from gamestop, you expect to use the xbox launcher not the gamestop launcher

The company that created/published the game is the first party.

But what is the first and second party then? It’s all subject to the definition.
