Reason for this meme is that some ubisoft titles are shipped with a broken version of ubisoft connect launcher. Installing these games is only possible by running the installer for the launcher again via protontricks.

    steam is already a game launcher bruh.

    There are alternative launches like heroic which don’t quite do the same thing, but even then you could still easily validate the game files without a launcher, they have the technology to do that lmao.

    GOG is also really popular and literally just gives out .exes, a lot of people really like it.

    Also steam is also a games marketplace, you can buy games on it?
