minus-squarecoffinwood@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoI agree, launchers are one superfluous piece of software that require additional resources. Steam takes half a gig of RAM. From my 32 gigs available. Also around 1 or 1.5 gigs on my drive. Many games take 50 to 100 gigs. It’s a minor inconvenience. If one can’t afford one gig for a launcher how would a game be installed anyway?
