Why aren't your games patched already?Then wait an hour till your games are patched.
I'm not sure how clicking an icon to open a program is all that more inconvenient than having to change discs or whatever. I'll be ok.
the Steam Overlay doesn't work - so I can't use my Steam Controller with those games, and when I quit a game it shows ads.
TIL choice is bad
I'd rather competition then one monopoly.

It's hard to blame publishers for not wanting to take a 30% cut off of their product when they could probably still sell to most of the consumers willing to buy their game and not have to worry about Steam getting a cut of their sale.
What do you think of Battle.net?It's interesting people calling "competition" and "choice" to clients that literally lock down their own games and do nothing else. They're literally there just to lock down consumer choice and options and make you pay as much as possible. That's not competition. Stuff like GOG is competition.
It would be nice if some actual competition, in the actual meaning of the word, popped up.

Should Blizzard games be on Steam?

Only works if you run Steam "as admin" or under an admin account, since Uplay requests elevated permissions.Add Uplay itself to steam instead of ubisoft games and the overlay will work.

Why aren't all your launchers just running in the background at startup if this is really a problem for you?
I will not tolerate the electron hate. Awesome ass tool for me since I'm studying to be a web developer and would love to make garage apps in my spare time.Because origin randomly logs itself out all the time or crashes. Have battle.net or whatever its called now log itself out on me quite often too.
Also since most of these things are electron based apps or some kinda thing running a fork of webkit underneath each of them wants to tax 100 meg of ram or more. I prefer not to have running processes using ram and cpu when I can avoid it.
I just open the one I want when I want.
If it's not on Steam, I don't play it.
Keeps me focused. As a former collector, I hate getting overwhelmed by options these days.
Steam and Blizzard for me. I refuse anything else. Makes it easy.

This is a horrible comparison. Having more streaming services requires me to pay more to get a full selection of things if there exclusivity deals. Installing more clients costs me nothing.This is just like whining when there are competitors to Netflix.
Want to keep your prices down? Want to inspire competition? Want to have OPTIONS when purchasing games?
The answer to all of that should be yes.
I absolutely hate the "no Steam, no buy" mindset and find that it is toxic to the open PC platform.
