!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

the steam page warns you of third party launches before you buy the game doesn't it?
so at least if it does happen it shouldn't be a surprise
First thing I look for and any for any game that has one I hit the ignore button.
I wish Steam offered the ability to blanket ignore anything that required a third party launcher.
You can block some of the worst offenders by blocking the publisher.
True, but even the worst offenders have exceptions and older games that didn’t yet require it.
That said, thanks for that because I didn’t know you could block a publisher outright.
This only kinda works and only for some publishers. It's getting better, but it's still spotty.
