I’ve just kinda gotten used to there not being an easy way around it. Hence my ‘Going Straight to the Forums’ reaction.

The Launcher bit was a helpful add-in by a another kind user. I didn’t ask about that specifically, just mentioned that I dislike extra launchers.

My question was far more stupid than that. However, people came through for me regardless. And very fast at that. And for that, I am thankful.

Apparently others also found the advice helpful.

No. Are you just here to be an ass?

I can certainly see we’re keeping the reddit-tradition of being an angry little muppet at any given opportunity alive.

Yes, I asked a public forum for help about something I didn’t know. And they came through for me, more so than I would have expected.

You can go back to being angry elsewhere now. Shoo…

Thanks for making me feel slightly better about it. ;)

Thank you for the step-by-step. Steam can be a bit of a maze when you don’t fiddle with these things so often. :)

Edit: Apparently it’s " --skip-launcher" the extra dash matters XD

Thank you so much. I’ll do that.

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.

That’s cool. Although I don’t know about “deal.” It’s a subscription for access to a home-arcade in essence. You stop paying and everything goes.

But alas, it is not for me to jugde. I’m not as big a fan of the whole ‘Games as a Service’ concept.

Less ‘Skyrim in Space,’ more ‘Fallout 4 in Space.’ They are really leaning into the “Build Your Own Trash-Fort” aspect, as with Starfield, you not only build them on every planet. You get to ride around in them between planets.

I get that ‘Builder Games’ are big money, but dear lord…

Without actually remembering anything too well, I do believe marketing around Morrowind was mostly graphics related. It was Beth’ switching to full on 3D and Morrowind was pretty advanced in that regard.

I mean, the screenshots in the magazins sold themselves to anyone with the mind for fantasy. Hell, it’s still the most beautiful and alien world to come out of Bethesda to date.

Sadly, nothing good remains that way forever. The structure and terms of Gamepass will eventually change to something less optimal.

Right now, the focus is to draw in people and create a “loyal” userbase.

Once they’re content with the state of the userbase, they’ll start restricting access and features to make people pay extra for different “premiums” and it’ll slowly go to shit.

It is ‘the way’ of mega-corporations.

Faydaikin, do gaming w What game mechanics do you love and hate?
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

I mostly dislike open-world games because of the lazy travel systems. Either you have to run everywhere or you free fast-travel from any point, too any point.

There is no middelground.

I miss games like Morrowind, where you not only had to pay for fast-travel, but it functioned more like an actual transportation system. Like, you had to go to this city and take a Strider to that town and then a boat ride to get to your destination.

Giving the world some infrastructur and natural money drainers helps with immersion and facilitates the need to go do some side-quests every now then. You get fast-travel, but you also get to see the world that was build for you. And you don’t run around as the richest douche in the world by level 10 with the best gear available because nothing costs anything.

Bethesda skipped this aspect entirely back in Oblivion and never looked back. Making your characters golden gods from the get-go, with no reason to interact with anyone or do anything except screwing around and collecting trinkets.

There’s more to it, ofcause, but this is the biggest pet-peeve I have.
