Seen as they are adding a proper offline option, does anyone know if I can launch this straight from steam or do I need another shitty launcher with another account?

edit never mind it says requires 3rd party account, in which case even for such a price you can get fucked

Hey I'm moving to PC, given the state of consoles, can one take to the high seas and launch those games through Steam? I already own GTA V like 3 times now and Im not buying it again.

If so is that an alternative to third party launchers in this case?

You can add non-steam games to steam if thats what you mean. Theres a launcher called hydra which does, things. Playnite is a launcher I use that I plug all my other accounts in to and launch all games thru that. There are also ways to unlock dlc and stuff but that will require a little bit of research. Havent sailed the seas for games in a while.

TLDR; Yes you can add otherwise aquired games to steam. For the most part
