Anyone know why the launcher is removed? And does it have any implications with any DRM?
The 2K Launcher in the Steam edition was entirely useless and not even technically required to get the game to run. It just added an extra step of waiting for an interstitial launcher to load so you could press Play a second time, and you could tell Steam to just run the game executable directly to bypass it entirely.
