Replace ‘buy’ with ‘download for free’ and ‘launcher’ with ‘unnecessary software after the download completes’, and they might get my attention.

I wasn’t swayed by their ‘free’ games that require their software. I wasn’t swayed when they bought up exclusivity contracts (yarr!). I’m sure as fuck not going to be swayed by the software having the absolute bare-minimum feature set.

I have fully taken advantage of their free games. I just never buy anything on their store. I have hundreds of their free games and a lot of them are awesome games. Anything I want to buy I go through steam or gog.
