    I'll always give Origin a pass because it was the first one to actually have a working refund policy. It was only _after_ Origin implemented it that Steam finally implemented theirs in a usable state. Before Origin, getting a refund on Steam was an awful process.

    Luckily, there are great solutions to shitty additional launchers:
    2K: launch game exe with "-run %command%" as an argument
    Epic: Use Legendary instead (or Rare if you need a GUI)
    EA/Origin: Use Anadius unpacker/emulator to bypass the launcher check (may or may not work for online titles)
    GFWL: use XLiveLess (or don't and get those achievements + gamerscore)
    Ubisoft: don't

    Quick question if you know how to fix it- battlefield 4 wouldn’t open when I bought it on steam and Google wasn’t any help, it would just keep saying that it’s launching and then just stop and then open the EA and Epic Games launcher

    Bro the fact that you have to deal with this for deadspace is a fucking crime

    I have never played Ubisoft games any more exactly due to uplay

    The fact EA somehow managed to make a launcher worse than origin is fucking mind boggling
    The issues that you have with the EA launcher with all the EA games is literally a pain

    Thankfully I’ve never had the origin launcher and hopefully never will. 😅
