For real? Ok yeah I need to do that. Shit’s obnoxious and just another way for things to go wrong if all you’re trying to do is local games and local-network multiplayer. I assumed they’d made it impossible to run without the launcher—if you can, it seems to kinda defeat the whole purpose of all the phoning-home (though I think a lot of that’s after it starts, too, so am not sure if this approach will end up helping)
