But see, that's the thing. They're just as capable of putting those ads in game too. I definitely would have more visibility on the ads just at the title screen than I would on a launcher I'm clicking through as fast as humanly possible.

If they can convert purchase within their launcher, they don't pay Steam their cut. That's it.

Then they'd have to update the actual game, as opposed to just updating the launcher when a change needs to be made.

Updating the launcher is quicker and cheaper.

yeah, plus there's only one launcher, and possibly thousands of games.
