Well, it ain't such a big deal to me. The only launcher which I autostart is Steam and the only ones in my Taskbar are Steam, GOG and ScummVM (for my favorite genre).

And you can easily organize your desktop with a few folders where you dump all the game and launcher icons, f. e. "Steam games", "Other games" and "Game launchers".

It is also smart to not put all the eggs in the same basket. So if Steam should be temporally down (for whatever reason), you just start one of the other launchers and pick one of the non-Steam-games.

As I've already replied to Teeqoz before, I'm fine with using the launchers I currently use, it's using a lot more over time that bugs me, mainly because I love keeping my desktop clean and tidy, so most of my main use exe's are stuck on the taskbar, the start menu and desktop area are all kept empty. I've already got games and exe's in their respectable folders, I don't need folders on my taskbar/desktop to appease the big companies out there who refuse to pay a small percentage in order to keep the number of launchers needed at a low number. 

I understand the eggs in one basket example, but I don't think it's objectively good to have 10+ launchers for multiple games, games that also end up appearing on other launchers.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
