A game on Steam shouldn't require a 3rd party launcher or account. I guess Valve is too afraid to deal with monopoly claims.

This is a first party launcher requirement
The "Valve good guy" points are noto just with customers, they also don't mess with publishers, otherwise you wouldn't see this much AAA publishers get in business with Valve so easily.
Epic gives literally money for free to publishers, but due to lack of "good guy points" (after all they bribe publishers: publishers are happy to get bribe money, but once you fail their demand... they shit all over you: see Randy Pitchfork's latest comments on Epic) publishers are quick to forget them (despite much more convenient cut share).
TL;DR: if Valve annoy publishers, publishers take away the "Valve good guy" point.
Of Valve keeps being nice to customers publishers can do nothing. Ubisoft and all others came back.
Mod being taken down and dev being disappeared in 3... 2... 1...
It's already gone

You have got to be fucking kidding me. I'm shocked. That a program that bypasses DRM was advertised on every fucking corner of the Internet was removed. How did Sony find out???
/s
Edit:
WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS SHIT WOULD HAPPEN?!
Not if every goddamn motherfuckering news outlet doesn't shut the hell up about it.
It's almost like HEY SONY OVER HERE! u mad bro? Why don't you do something about it?
Edit; it's already fucking gone. Shit journalism strikes again.
Edit2: the author removed it literally because of the reasons I mentioned above
Pirates are laughing. No psn, all DLC and non of this bullshit and also smaller install.
Not to advocate for piracy, but the person getting it for free /stealing it shouldn't have better experience than those paying.
DRM only fucks legitimate customers.
If the mod didn't work, they didn't create a mod to bypass it
Good. It is this or going high seas for me if I get to play this game. I'm so sick and tired of third party launchers and telemetry bullshit.
Not even a launcher. Just trying to boost PSN account numbers
theres probably telemetry or data stuff going on too.
if you own one such game, check out the license agreement.
Yup. No opt out either. Best you can do is SeT it to "Limited" telemetry.
Hope they don't patch to disable it.
Just never update
