And they do so because people support it.

Like so much else in PC gaming, they do so because customers don't have a choice. If I want to play The Division with my friends, I have to put up with an extra launcher.

If it bothers you enough, then don't play the division?

I actively avoid and don't buy/play games that require Origin or Uplay. Even when friends tell me about free games in Origin I don't give a fuck. And I'm a very active gamer.

You do have a choice. There are tons of awesome games out there.

Playing devil's advocate: If it bothers you enough, then don't buy an iPhone?
