Right, but that doesn’t necessarily equal a good time for consumers. It’s a common gripe among PC gamers that every major vendor wants their own launcher, some of which are borderline spyware.


The choices I have on PC are wonderful. Many games are on multiple launchers or no launcher is necessary- download straight from the web. Lots of overlap between GOG, Steam, and Windows/Xbox Store. I can download and control games I buy DRM free from GOG. It's awesome.
