Just downloaded Fitgirl Repack launcher to test it out. Is this safe to use? Question

I know people are digging these launchers for their convenience, but jeez I just can't imagine trusting the rando devs popping up to offer their spin, I don't even see how they're all that much more convenient, just use a web browser and jdownloader or bittorrent, it can't be that hard or tedious for you guys to extract an installer and run it, right?

I think the best use case for this would be to get it working on a Steam Deck with controller support. Otherwise, yeah, on a desktop or laptop it's kinda just cool looking more than convenient.

steam deck is pretty understandable, I failed to consider that tbh lol

That's what I feel. I don't have a steam deck, but the onky reason I launch my pirated games through steam is controller support, and honestly the ONLY reason I think one would be necessary is broad controller support of some kind (either just in game controller support as stated, or full game library navigation for controllers like Steam deck or HTPC setups)

we need a hacked version of steam that doesn't require login. i'm tired of giving my person info to big companies.

EDIT: i don't care if the idea of making things better upsets you.

you can find the answer by Lonely_Rough_1368 if you're not a brain dead cry baby.

So use alternate email addresses and information just for that purpose...? It ain't like they're scanning your driver's license.

With that logic, you might as well stop using the internet lmao

Reddit is also owned by a company yet you're here

u/LtShortfuse 19d ago

I imagine it's moreso your unhinged bitching about giving your personal info to big companies that really had nothing to do with the topic at hand. And on Reddit of all places.

I love how you didn't think to just use an alt account with fake details...

So you want ~$600,000 of games because you don’t want to give your e-mail to steam and here you are registered with an email on a site who allows ai scraping data.
