As the title says. I severely dislike having to make accounts for every game publisher that wants to send me advertisements, collect data or whatever.

It’s usually an instant dealbreaker for me at this point

Publishers needing their own launcher already puts them on shaky grounds with me.

But I really liked the original BG 1 & 2, so I’m willing to not just refund it immediately and actually ask around first for solutions.

    Not to sound like a dick, but how does this have so many upvotes? There’s a button to skip it and never ask again right there.

    Oh, are we starting the reddit tradition of making no effort at all and just immediately asking the community for help instead?

    Great.

    If you’re using Steam (or any kind of shortcut I suppose), add --skip-launcher to the launch options. Here’s how to do so with Steam:

    • Right-click the game in your library and select Properties.
    • Look for the Launch Options field at the bottom of the General tab.
    • Add “–skip-launcher” and close the properties window.
    • Launch the game as normal.
