I can't imagine why Activision would make their own game run better on their own platform.

Its a launcher, what do you think you can write into code on a launcher to make a game run better

I'll flip the question and ask you what does OP think the launcher can do to make the performance better or worse?

Since years already. The "people" "working" at Steam need to justify their salaries in some way since they are doing... what exactly?. So, changes for the sake of changes.

Lower CPU and GPU utilization implies there is something wrong with the game. They probably hardcoded some bullshit to artificially reduce performance.

If you have a relevant grievance (and you do) at least try to be right about what's happening so people don't call you a stupid fucking nigger ape.

Sounds like the studio is doing something behind the scenes to prefer their own launcher. Big shock.

None at all since battlenet platform haz 0 news or reviews for their games to see what updates are being pushed.

Literally yes. Are you fucking dumb? They can reserve optimized versions of the game for their own platform specifically to create the argument that you should buy and run games through them. This way they avoid giving steam a cut.

Steam has a performance impact of course but it's very small, mainly just the RAM usage, which isn't even that big of a deal these days.
Maybe if you're using the game recording feature it might have a larger impact.

This. It's pretty clear they're purposely gimping versions that aren't from their store front to drive the creation of these threads.
OP, buy an ad and maybe next time don't be a dumb cunt that leave the utilization specs on. Just show fps and then we would never know you're a shill.

no, video game companies can just literally do whatever they want because government officials are too old and retarded to understand what a video game even is and it's been like this for >30 years now.

What's the point of all that shit when I just want it to launch the game I bought? Most multiplayer games have their own friend or clan system. Why the fuck does steam need it? If I want to talk to my friends I'll use discord.

Steam itself isn't, but the steam friends list is. If you leave it open it'll eat a ton of resources for some reason so you should always close it.

given the CPU and GPU use statistics the only conclusion that can even remotely make sense is steam squatting on the cores that run the game and slowing it down
Do you understand how stupid you'd have to be to be to assume a company with 20 years of experience, a Linux fork and a handheld has actually done that?
