I despise all of the “other” (EA, Ubisoft, etc) launchers for PC as well for this same reason - I go to launch a game thats not in Steam and “Oops! Time to update!”… and I’m not just going to have all of the launchers boot up at login either since that would just be insane.
One of the big reasons I hate playing on consoles. It’s generally pretty rare that I even want to, and a 20 minute update kills that for me.
