PC Players: How many game launchers are on your system right?

Just Steam and Battle.net right now. I recently bought an SSD and did a clean install of Windows and when the time came to reinstall everything I just kinda went fuck it and decided I was done with all that bullshit. Unless your name is Blizzard, chances are your game isn't anything special enough for me to jump through hoops for it. Steam is already on my PC, you want my money then put your games on it.

Of course, it helps that EA haven't released anything I give a shit about in ages. Bethesda's another story, though. I have no interest in Fallout 76 but I love a lot of what they've been publishing lately. Would suck to see them leave Steam altogether.

I have steam and uplay because some games on steam force me to use it. I never actually open it myself.

That's all I will put on my PC.

Steam, GOG, Blizz.

Three, and I resent the fact that I already have that many. But in addition to Steam, I have tons of free Twitch games, and for $5 a month Origin Access is really rad.

Battle.net
Bethesda.net

+ Trion's MMO launcher, Black Desert launcher, Star Forge's My.com launcher, A FFXI launcher (windower like app), more launchers specific to maybe one or two games. I don't mind any of them, I have a folder with all of my installed games, so I just activate them there, or use the start menu tiles. I have a ton of apps on the PC as well and treat launchers as just another app.

2. Battle.net and Steam.

Steam
GOG Galaxy*
Origin*

*These are mostly neglected though. GOG isn't mandatory and I haven't played any EA games in a while.

Steam, b.net. I have dabbled in the others but the vast majority of my games/time is spent with these two.

GOG
Uplay
Origin

steam, bnet, origin, uplay, bethesda, and winstore. number of launchers doesnt bother me. dont care where my games come from.

Steam
Origin
Epic
Battle.net
Twitch (I only use for WoW mods)

My PC is capable of supporting thousands of launchers, so i try not to perseverate on how many it currently has.

Steam
Origin
Uplay
Twitch
Battle.Net

Uplay / Origin is never opened because they are only used for their platforms respective games.

Twitch sees minor usage to download, but that's about it.

Battle.net is a horrendous trashfire & I'm shocked how blizzard can barely keep that thing functioning half the time.

Steam will always be my go-to due to library volume & it's features. The only one that's close to matching steam on its community features is the twitch launcher, but it's for a different audience.

Steam and Battle.net(for Overwatch) are mainstays, Origin and uPlay get installed just for certain games, then uninstalled when finished.

Steam, Origin, Uplay and GOG Galaxy at the moment.

I also used to have itch.io and Epic Launcher installed on my old laptop, but I barely used them any way.

In the past I've had Blizzard and Bethesda

Steam, epic for the engine editor, gog, origin, uplay, twitch, itch, and any number of older games that dont use a launcher - 5 or so i think

Epic, GOG, Steam, Origin, Battle.net, Twitch, Windows Store, Rockstar Social Club and uPlay.

Gimme more.

just steem

A ton. I don't give a shit. Content is content and I don't let a little thing like a login keep me away from things I want to play.
Steam, Origin, Battle.net, Trion's Glyph, Dreadnought, Perfect World's launcher, GOG Galaxy, Uplay, Epic Launcher, FFXIV launcher, Cubeworld launcher, Minecraft launcher, Windows store, etc.

Steam, Bnet, Epic, Ubi, Origin, GoG.

It's not like I open most of them unless I plan to play something though.

Steam

Uplay
GOG Galaxy
Epic

Steam and GoG Galaxy are used regularly.

UPlay, Origin and Battle.net are installed but almost never used.

Twitch gave me a bunch of free games I redeemed and will probably never install.

Basically this, yeah

Also, it cannot be stressed enough that Destiny 2 PC feels like what Destiny should be i.e. not the worst-looking 30fps I've seen outside of Bloodborne. It being in the same launcher I always have open for Overwatch is a plus.

Boring is boring at 30fps or 144.

Five in all:

1. Steam (main digital storefront/app)
2. Origin (a distant second - I buy a few exclusive games from here every so often, usually in sales)
3. Blizzard App (Retail Overwatch, DD Diablo III, and my free Destiny 2 from Humble)
4. UPlay (required to play my Ubi games on Steam. Also holds my free games from their giveaways, and my UPlay Humble keys. I've never actually bought a game on UPlay)
5. Epic Launcher: Required to play my occasional round of Fortnite.

I'll be damned if I'm adding another one.

Uplay
Steam
Origin
GoG Galaxy
Blizzard/battle.net

Steam
Origin
Uplay
GOG
Blizzard
MS store /Xbox remote play
PS remote play

However I rarely launch anything but steam, I set things up so I can launch from my steam library. Even when I remote play my PS4, it's thru steam.

Probably have around 7 or more. Having a bunch of game launchers does not bother me. Some of the games I add and launch through steam or computer folders.

STEAM
Twitch
GOG
UPlay
Origin
Battle.net
XBOX App
Epic

I won't be jumping into Bethesda's thing.

Only Steam and the Xbox app for launching the Win10 versions of third party releases for both Play Anywhere titles and Win10 exclusive versions.

Steam
Blizzard
Epic (I gguess someday i'll play fortnite)
Twitch
MS Store (tried gamepass for 14 days for free).

Steam, UPlay (because Siege), and Battle.Net - And Bethesda.Net which I've forgotten to uninstall.

Maybe Origin if I pick up BFV.

Anything else, well... The game in question has to really impress before I put anymore bloat on my system.

Steam
Origin
Uplay
Battle.net
Epic
Windows10 Store

That should be all right now.

Steam and Uplay.

I got a free Watch Dogs 2, and Prince of Persia a while back

Steam, Uplay, Origin and GOG. It doesn't bother me in the slightest though...
