chill bro all mmos and such have used launchers since the dawn of time
- doublerabbit 1y agoYeah? Sure. Quake 3 never needed required a launcher.
- viraptor 1y agoQ3 was from times without trivially available persistent internet connections. You had to hunt down the patches and mods yourself manually, hoping not to get malware instead. It was a different time. The updates also were much more spread out - last 3 were from 2001, 2002, 2006. It's just not comparable to how things work today.
- extrememacaroni 1y agoIt was also a LAN party game more or less.
