Wasnt talking about Windows. Just saying most launchers work fine on Linux (at least, as well as they do on Windows).
The problem is not the OS, its the existence of unnecessary launchers in the first place, as well the poor general functionality.
Its just another place for them to serve you ads and inject DRM.
Would be cool if they all got together and funded indepedent non-profit development of a cross-platform launcher with store/friends/servers, etc.
Until then I'll stick with Steam + HGL and nothing else.
There was this launcher for Mirrors Edge (EA i think?) that hit the security limit of 50k simultaneus opened files. Not the game, mind you.
