I for one installed on my Main NPC and unchecked anything that said anything about data collection outside of the program itself.
I wouldn't even do that on my main rig. As I posted earlier, I put it on my wrecked old laptop to get the costume. It was going to be scrapped anyway, so why not?
It isn't Spyware.
So they say. I don't know either way, though I'm not installing it on my main rig as I simply have no need for it.
Though I have no plans on using it unless they do more giveaways.
Ditto.
If you launch STO through Arc you don't need to log in via the launcher, it goes straight to the patcher. It also Auto detected my Steam folder.
The patcher is part of the launcher, so in effect it really is a "Yo dawg" situation". It skips a step in that you don't need to enter your password twice, but arc is simply a launcher that launches a launcher.
Okay, so steam does the same thing, but steam at least has a much larger catalogue of games. Which brings me to my next point.
When I started arc up, my immediate reaction was "Hang on, did I start up steam?!". It does nothing that cannot be done with steam. So why does it even exist, other than to give a PWE exec a pay rise/bonus?
