As the title says. I severely dislike having to make accounts for every game publisher that wants to send me advertisements, collect data or whatever.
It's usually an instant dealbreaker for me at this point
Publishers needing their own launcher already puts them on shaky grounds with me.
But I really liked the original BG 1 & 2, so I'm willing to not just refund it immediately and actually ask around first for solutions.
I am an idiot. I didn't click to the next page after it suggested I make an account.
I just close down the launcher immediately.
nah, asking the question still gave us the 'skip launcher' instructions, so this is a win!
Thanks for making me feel slightly better about it. ;)
I had the same issue. Feels a bit shady to make people click Get Started anyway, but at least the launcher is skippable entirely.
I've just kinda gotten used to there not being an easy way around it. Hence my 'Going Straight to the Forums' reaction.
