The last time I tolerated a 3rd party launcher was when I was playing through the mass effect trilogy, as the 3rd game needed EA’s launcher, I think.
It was so much of a pain, I just swore them off completely. Now if a game needs a 3rd party launcher, I either just don’t play it, or… Yarr, if it’s good enough to warrant it.
I bought ME:LE and I still refuse to play it uncracked. The EA app bullshit has caused me more than enough grief, actively preventing me from playing the game I paid for unless it’s cracked.
Exactly the same for me. I played ME 1&2 years ago when they launched through steam, then when I finally got 3 it made me go through the EA launcher. I endured it just long enough to do the game once and then uninstalled it, and now I’m more vigilant about checking the reqs to see if games need 3rd party software.

ME 2 was better anyway
I love Mass Effect, but I haven’t played the 3rd because of this
