      When I used it the launcher would constantly forget my login. And then for older games like Splinter Cell it asked for a login everytime I launched the game. It was ridiculous.

        Nothing like having to swat away 10 text boxes of bullshit on launcher start.

So instead of seeing 70% of Steam sales of their games, they saw 0.
