What does the launcher do with regard to the operation of the game that cannot be done within the actual game itself? Is it due to a technical limitation or simply there for the convenience of the players? Are there alternatives to such methods of starting the execution of games?

    Multiplay games won’t work with it

    that’s not actually a guarantee: BG3 has multiplayer and works just fine without the launcher. as do plenty of others.

      --skip-launcher in the launch options on Steam, for anyone who doesn’t know already
