tbh, launchers are annoying as hell

let's say i want to play RDR2,

(i have an ssd and fairly quick internet)

i click on the game, then wait,

then it opens steam,

then steam updates,

then steam shows me the offers and news,

after that, steam opens rockstar games social club,

then the social club loading R* sign comes up, and i have to wait for that

after that opens, it sometimes asks me to sign in to my account, and go through the captcha, but it doesn't always happen..

then it finally opens rdr2, and then i have to wait through the intro sequence and loading screen to when i can finally play the game

why does it have to be like this? is there any alternative? its the same with GTAV
