The only useful thing launchers ~~can~~ used to do is adjust things like display settings that require reboot. Basically an INI config GUI.
This was more common back in the day probably due to the game engines. More less games require restart in recent years but that could be due to me playing more indie games and less AAA titles.
Edit: wow. Downvote much.
those launchers i'm ok with, because they don't ask me to log in, or take twelve minutes to start up, or try to promote a game, it's literally just a pre launch menu. That's chill.
Wow I got downvoted.
Yes I agree that launchers mentioned here are the online connected and required ones.
The old school launchers you could bypass by just running the exe directly.
wouldnt be the internet if people didnt think everything you said was stupid for no fucking reason.
but yeah, the old school ones are mint, we need more of those.
