Hallelujah. I don't know why so many companies went down this route, particularly when it's not the likes of Ubisoft or whatnot with their own desire to half-ass the attempt at making their own Steam. My guess for its removal is to better support Steam Deck, perhaps?
Even CD Project Red added such shit. Instead of directly launching Witcher or Cyberpunk I now have to go through a(nother) launcher now. Pointless.
Baldurs Gate 3 needed one from the beginning as well.
I don't get it.
use --launcher-skip start argument for CDPR games
BG3 also has the slightly different --skip-launcher
Ah, good to know. Thanks!
