Rockstar launcher 🤡
That makes it a hard no for me.
Yeah i am done with "its just a launcher bro, lets game"
There so many good games with out that trash... Why?
For me the last straw was not being able to play a game on a plane because no internet connection. God forbid i enjoy something i paid for without checking in with server.
FAFO, grifters. No money for parasites.
If you buy Black Ops 6 on Steam, you need to use THREE LAUNCHERS
I open Blops 6, Blops 6 opens
Technically it's the CoD HQ thing, but it loads Blops 6 content first and will let me play MP and Zombies without anything else needed
I had to log in to battlenet when I first got cod, but it otherwise doesn't appear when playing
So I can see 2 if you count battlenet, what's the third?
Wtf... Some context?
But yeah i stopped buying cod and battlefield due to bad practices.
Linking YouTube videos on my phone now makes it difficult to share without stupid tracking links, but check out Videogamedunkey’s recent Black Ops 6 video. It’s asinine.
I respect you appreciating this!
Can you even get a non tracking spytube or reddit link amymore?
Seriously! I used to be able to copy and paste easily and remove everything after the ?, but now they’ve changed it so it’s nested in the URL. Also, they broke ad blocking in Firefox Focus, so I have to copy and paste the videos into Safari with Vinegar and Baking Soda for a halfway decent watch experience. Aaaaaaaa
Yeah i had suspicion that reddit using rando letter/number variables for specific link were died to person generating link.
I saw youtube and twatter do the same...
Disgusting
Oh yah. They’re all doing it. Amazon too. Apparently with TikTok, you can’t even remove the tracking info, absolutely disgusting! I don’t touch TikTok, so I can’t confirm.
If you see a ?, you can usually delete that and everything after it to get rid of the spy stuff.
Ugh. I'd probably pay $15 for it on sale, but the launcher makes me want to pirate it just to avoid that crap. I literally just want to play undead nightmare.
