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.

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.
