TBH the only reason I even want a launcher is that game achievements require it. AFAIK this is possible with other launchers like Heroic, but I never bothered setting it up for the GOG games I do own.
Thankfully achievements can typically be ignored, at least in single-player games that I play. So not sure what’s so radically bad about them.
But, the funniest achievements system that I’ve seen was in the original ‘Assetto Corsa’, the racing simulator. It goes like ‘win with this car on this track against these other cars’, and then seven hundred of these, vaguely mirroring the pseudo-career mode that the game has. I had a chuckle seeing that, and paid no attention to the achievements again. The cherry on top is that basically no one plays the original ‘career’, driving mod cars on mod tracks instead.

Ah well imo achievements have been a monumentally bad thing for gaming and culture so I have to say I hope they disappear anyway
I like achievements. Outside the feeling of completion, they allow me:

Can’t say that you’re wrong …
