Practically every game from EA or Ubisoft on Steam published within the last eight years or so does this.

  And they do so because people support it.

    Like so much else in PC gaming, they do so because customers don't have a choice. If I want to play The Division with my friends, I have to put up with an extra launcher.

      If it bothers you enough, then don't play the division? I actively avoid and don't buy/play games that require Origin or Uplay. Even when friends tell me about free games in Origin I don't give a fuck. And I'm a very active gamer. You do have a choice. There are tons of awesome games out there.

        Playing devil's advocate: If it bothers you enough, then don't buy an iPhone?
