But it’s never risen to the level of “I literally will not buy/play the game over this.”
I don’t get people who say this at all. You buy this cool game you love, you’ll spend hours playing it, but you won’t enter a fake email and wait another 30 seconds at launch to play it?
Even at the peak of Origin’s woes, I never got close to that.
It’s yet another program you didn’t choose collecting whatever data from your computer, and yet another - very intentional - obstacle to the gaming experience. Honestly, it’s less about time and more about artificial obstructions and privacy invasion everywhere.
It is particularly egregious when studios who normally side with the gamers, like CDPR, do the same thing with their games.

I couldn’t play Mirrors Edge once, because the fucking launcher (what was it, EA?) triggered the opened-files-limit of Linux. 3D games ran fine before that.
It’s annoying, I hate it. They’re useless bloat.

It has one? How much stuff did it open 😭
/etc/security/limits.conf. I think default is usually in the 1000s? Of simultanously opened files.
Ok wtf? What the heck is EA doing
Well, was a few years back.
