i wonder if the steam version is just a shortcut? some games e.g. GTA5 are on steam and when i start it i still have to install and launch the rockstar launcher. is this for DEOOM ETERNAL the same?

When you buy that game on steam you still need Bethesda Laucher installed and that account need to be linked with steam

Requires 3rd-Party Account: Bethesda.net (Supports Linking to Steam Account)

Also there was disscusion about steam keys

Not true, I got a Steam code from Bethesda and there isn't any launcher involved when playing through Steam.

Such a law would never happen. If we pretend it does, then it'll just become a Bethesda launcher exclusive and won't ever be purchasable on Steam, simple. There are so many 3rd party sellers nowadays that the AAA big titles don't have to care as much about being on Steam.

To be honest imo, since they made their own game, they can choose what platform to put it on.

Do I like having 5+ launchers? No, but it's not a huge deal either. As long as they work.

if u have an old potato like mine with only 4 giga ram all these launcher\clients sucks many resources from the game itself...this is unacceptable to me.. same for subtitles :there must be rules about game, like films...there should be sub in all languages and i must be free to choose wich platform play,after purchasing a game on some platform\store,i'm not saying there must be only steam, but if i purchase on steam Valve DRM and steam client must be enough...iMaHO
