Owlcat Games cancels proprietary PC launcher less than 24 hours after launch

Owlcat Games announced a proprietary PC launcher on Monday (22), but canceled the project less than 24 hours later amid intense player criticism. According to the developer, the software was intended to serve as a centralized platform for accessing all of its titles, along with distributing news about updates and future projects, similar to what studios like Blizzard and Ubisoft already do. In a statement, Owlcat Games apologized for the frustration caused, acknowledging customer complaints. The company, known for games like Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader, did not detail the specific reasons behind the criticism that led to such a swift cancellation.
