You're afraid of the launcher spying on you, but not the actual game?

I accept that anything windows is spying on me.

But I expect to play the game, when clicking the game icon. Not being thrown in to a launcher waiting for me while I then thrown advertisements for their next game.

Take a look at EA Origin, it's horrific. It updates then the whole launcher implodes with some alien error code like as one of a printer.
