I see this, and all I imagine is forced launchers and required account log ins to play your games.

For sure. Unfortunately PC gamers wille at that shit right up without a moment’s hesitation. Just look at how popular steam is.

You do know that something like 75-99% of games on steam don’t have any drm, right? You can play most games right from the exe.

None ive ever purchased have been drm/launcher free. Even binding of Isaac and terraria need that bloated garbage excuse for a launcher open to run.

Running the app directly through steam/ the freedesktop launcher steam makes should work without internet access

How else you do you imagine them being able to track your purchases across platforms?

Just give me a way to play Gran Turismo on PC and I’ll be happy honestly.

They did this with Portal 2 and I was hyped that it was the start of a new trend. Only took 15 years

That was Valve more than it was Sony.
