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.
